Description: | A complete cast copper alloy Roman Colchester two-piece brooch dating to the first century AD. The brooch is complete and in very good condition. The brooch has short, undecorated arms, a slightly curved bow with central ribbed moulding down its length and a catchplate with two openwork elements and a folded pin catch. The pin is complete although it rests to the left side of the catch; the spring mechanism is complete. This is a nice example of a late Iron Age / early Roman period Colchester style brooch. Similar are recorded on this databaase and in Hattatt 2007.
