Description: | A Roman copper-alloy repousse disc brooch dating to the late first century AD. The brooch comprises a flat circular plate, the surface of which is covered with a black substance, overlaid with a fragmentary repousse plate. The repousse plate is decorated with a triskele motif enclosed within a broad beaded rim. It is likely that the black substance underneath the repousse plate acted as an adhesive. On the underside of the brooch, the semi-circular perforated lugs which would hold the pin in place are missing, although a small scar indicates their original position. The pin is missing. The catchplate remains and is rectangular in shape. The brooch has a diameter of 26mm and a weight of 10g.
