Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of uncertain type, probably dating from the first to second centuries AD. The fragment consists of the lower body and sub-triangular unperforated catchplate on its reverse. The body is undecorated and tapers to a simple circular foot knop. It is likely that this fragment was part of a first to second century brooch type, possibly from a Hod Hill or related T-shape type. The fragment measures 22.3 mm long, 3.3 mm maximum width at foot knop, 11.4 mm maximum thickness and weighs 1.44 grams. The brooch has an overall dark green patina.
