Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman Colchester Two-Piece brooch. The lower portion of the bow remains. The bow is broken at the upper edge, and this is probably a recent break. In profile, the bow is slightly bent; oval sectioned and is possibly decorated but the corrosion does not make this certain. The bow tapers to a blunt terminal. On the reverse of the bow there is an complete solid catchplate which has traces of a white metal alloy on it. The surface of the brooch has traces of a dark green coloured patina. The brooch measures 29.49mm long and 3.5mm wide across the break and weighs 2.2g.The brooch is a Colchester Two-Piece brooch. The type is uncertain, but probably dates to the mid first to second centuries.
