Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Headstud brooch of Roman date. The head of the brooch is comprised of narrow rectangular wings which appear undecorated. It has a very worn small sub-rectangular projection from the top of the head of the brooch and acircular peforation where the headstud decoration would have been. Due to the advanced degree of wear on the reverse of the head it is difficult to determine the type of mechanism of the brooch. From a central point, the wings taper to a worn break about halfway down the bow. The catchplate and the pin proper no longer remains.The metal is mid brown-green in colour and is worn. It is 36.60mm long, 19.36mm wide, 4.82mm thick and weighs 11.73g.Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt p.332-3, figs.191-2 and are dated to the 2nd Century AD
