Description: | An incomplete, worn and corroded cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of Polden Hill type dating to the c. 1st-2nd centuries AD (c. AD 75-175). This brooch has a preserved head and partial bow, but the pin, foot and catchplate are absent. The head of the brooch is formed of a horizontal cylindrical bar which preserves a circular in section axial wire along its length. In the centre of the cylindrical bar, a small rectangular slot remains where the pin looped over the wire and then extended downwards. From the head of the brooch, the oval-in-section bow extends with moderate curvature and tapers from the head to the foot, terminating short of the intended length. This brooch is plain and undecorated, and is now a mid-green colour.
