Description: | A nearly complete cast copper-alloy Late Iron Age or early Roman period one-piece brooch of 'Nauheim derivative' La Tene III type dating from the first century AD. The brooch has a head with an internal chord which passes underneath the bilateral four-coil spring, one of which forms the pin, which is now missing. The brooch body is triangular in plan and flat in section, and has a slightly arched profile similar to many brooches of this type. The body tapers into a narrow undecorated foot. It retains its unperforated catchplate with a curved outer edge which would have held the pin. The brooch does not seem to be decorated. It measures 45.9mm long, 10.4mm wide,1.7mm thick and it weighs 2.64grams. The brooch has an even medium green colour.Nauheim derivative brooches are common in Britain during the Roman period and were probably manufactured in Britain as well as the Continent. Cf. Bayley and Butcher 2004, Fig. 37; Hattatt 2007, p. 290, no. 243. For another similar PAS database example cf. SUSS-A6BD93.
