Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman Colchester Two-Piece brooch. The bow remains of the brooch, and it is broken at what would have been the junction with the bow head. The break is not recent. In profile, the bow is gently curved until where the catchplate starts on the reverse, and then it is bent at 90 °. The catchplate is incomplete and undecorated. The bow is sub triangular in section, with rounded edges. The reverse of the bow at the upper edge has the remains of two possible lugs, but this is not certain. The surface of the brooch has a light grey/green coloured patina. The brooch measures 25.06mm long and 7.21mm wide, and weighs 3.4g.The brooch is a Colchester Two-Piece brooch. The type is uncertain, but it probably date to the mid first to second centuries.
