Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch; a Thealby type dating from AD 100 - 200. It has an integrally cast head loop, tubular wings containing the remains of an iron hinged pin, and decoration on the front of the wings. This consists of a deep central groove flanked by a narrow groove on each side on each wing. The bow is decorated with an incised V shape at the top, but the lower bow is plain. The foot is missing and the break is rough but patinated. Part of the catchplate survives. A very close parallel is number 945 on page 333 of Hattatt's Visual Catalogue. The brooch is 35.53mm in length, 18.31mm in width, 6.97mm in thickness and weighs 7.89g.
