Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman Hod Hill brooch dating to the first century AD. The bow has a square panel in its centre, the panel having a raised central rib and slightly raised external edges. Either side of this central panel are two short arms that terminate in a linear mouldings. The head of theb rooch retains one of the pin-bar hinge folds, the other is missing, as is the bar and pin. Below the central panel the lower part of the bow has transverse mouldings and a slightly flared foot. The reverse retains much of the catchplate. There is traces of a white-metal (possibly silver) coating. This type of brooch dates from c. AD 43-65. A similar brooch is illustrated in Hattatt (1989:323), no 316.
