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 to the 1st century AD. The brooch is missing its head, spring coils and pin. 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 a portion of its unperforated catchplate. The brooch is decorated with lightly incised horizontal lines, running the length of the brooch body. It measures 39.4mm long, 3.9mm wide, 2.1mm thick and it weighs 1.77 grams.The brooch has an even dark 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. Hattatt 2007, p. 290, no. 243. For another similar PAS database example cf. SUSS-A6BD93.
