Description: | A Roman copper alloy enamelled plate brooch dating to the 2nd century AD. This plate brooch is lozenge shaped with lugs. There is a lot of damage to the edges and the lugs are mostly missing but there appears to be a surviving stub on one of the side points of the lozenge. There is a central lozenge shaped cell filled with red enamel. The majority of the enamel is missing. There is some decorative moulding around the edge of the cell, echoing the lozenge shape. On the reverse of the brooch there is a circular depression with a smaller circular depression within that. There is also the perforated double lug surviving and the stub of the catchplate. The pin is broken and missing.Hattatt (2000:348) illustrates very similar examples which are dated to the 2nd century AD. Similar brooches are also recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database see: PUBLIC-CFE0E2, WAW-150653, SF-F63435, WILT-962853.Dimensions: length: 27.30mm; width: 19.21mm; thickness: 3.37mm; weight: 3.55g.Reference: Hattatt, R. 2000.
