Description: | A fragment of a Roman crossbow (light) copper-alloy bow brooch. The fragment consists of the lower part of the bow, which then develops into the leg. The leg forms an oblique angle with the bow. A protruding plate ridge/flange is located towards the base of the bow on its upper surface. On the underside of the solid foot the catch-plate has been considerably abraded. Patches of whitemetal coating remain, on the leg especially. The brooch measures 29.6 mm in length, 6 mm wide, and weighs 2.2 grams. For early crossbow brooches with similar protruding plates see Hattatt (2000, 368; fig. 227).
