Description: | A copper alloy Roman disc brooch dating to AD 80-250. The brooch is circular with a diameter of 24.50mm with seven out of eight remaining peripheral lugs (measuring roughly 3.66mm wide). The central circular plate is made up of four radiating lozenge/spiral-shaped recesses which taper to a point, two with blue enamel and two with either red or green enamel. In the very centre of the brooch is a smaller circle, which may or may not have had enamel. On the reverse of the brooch, thelug, pin, and catchplate are still intact, and the surface is flat and undecorated.CF. Hattatt p 345 no 528.
