Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy Roman brooch, probably of Two-piece Colchester type, c. 1st century AD. The remains of the brooch consist of a cylindrical crossbar with a notch in the centre to accommodate the hinge pin; the copper-alloy hinge and iron axial pin are still intact, but the brooch pin itself is now missing. A small degree of brooch neck and body remain and are triangular in cross-section. No further decoration remains. The brooch fragment measures 16.6 mm long, 21.8 mm wide at crossbar, 4.9 mm approximate diameter of cylindrical crossbar, 4.1 mm thick at brooch body break-end; the brooch weighs 4.2 grams.
