Description: | A late Iron Age / early Roman copper alloy brooch of the Knickfibel type. Catchplate, pin and part of spring missing. c.f. Hattat Fig 152 No 754. Hattatt comments this type is mainly centred on the Rhineland and was of comparatively short life, covering the first half of the first century AD. Bayley and Butcher further comment (2004, Roman Brooches in Britain: A technological and typological study based on the Richborough collection, p 148) that this type of brooch is likely to have come with the army since they are common on the forts of the Rhine-Danube frontier. Other Knickfibel brooches on this database are NLM4673, NMS-11E8C1, LIN-3EB844 and NMS-B7F193.
