Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman plate brooch dating to the second century AD. The brooch is broadly lozenge-shaped in plan with two triangular ends containing degraded red enamel and a central square of blue. There is a large central circle within the blue field with traces of white and red enamel; four small circles of red enamel are set around this central panel within the blue field. There is a protruding knop at each corner, only one of which is complete. On the reverse of the brooch is the remains of the catchplate and a double-lug hinge for the pin, which is missing. Although no direct comparison could be found in the usual literature, a similar brooch is illustrated in Hattatt (2008:356 no1600).
