Description: | A cast copper alloy disc brooch dating to the Roman period, 2nd century AD. The object is incomplete and would have been circular in plan and flat. The object is decorated with four remaining ring-and-dot motifs. The ring of the motif is in-filled with red enamel. In the recess surrounding the motifs are the remains of a dark blue enamel. In the centre of the object is a raised circular moulding which was probably in-filled with enamel. File marks are visible on the circular ridges of the decorations and on the rear of the object. The object would have been hinged; however the hinge and pin are missing. The remains of the catchplate and hinge casing can be seen on the reverse.In Roman Brooch Timeline (2007), Worrell dates flat enamelled disc brooches to AD 80-250. A similar example is no.1032, fig.203, p344, Hattatt, (2000).
