Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman (AD 50-150) Colchester Derivative T-shape brooch, missing the catchplate, part of the bow and most of the pin. It has suffered damage to the end of one of the wings. Overall, it measures 37.55mm in length, 21.70mm in width, 11.20mm in thickness and weighs 6.20g.The bow is a flattened D in cross-section near the wings (12.20mm x 3.05mm) but becomes oval in cross-section towards the foot (3.55mm x 3.65mm). The wings are circular in cross-section (4.65mm in diameter). A stub of the pin survives at the hinge, where it protrudes outwards on the same axis as the bow.The front of the bow is decorated at the flater wider half nearer the wings. There are a pair of vertical ridges running along half the bow's length. There is also a vertical groove near each edge. The decorated part of the bow is separated from the rest by a pair of horizontal grooves. The brooch has a medium green patina.
