Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Trumpet brooch of Roman date. The head is circular with an integral lug projecting from the reverse which would have accommodated the pin mechanism though this no longer remains. The centre of the head extends into a circular sectioned bow which tapers in circumference to a worn break. Midway along the length of the bow is an elaborate, semi-circular acanthus moulding flanked by triple semi-circular collars.The metal has a mid green patina and is worn. The brooch is 28.5mm long, 12.8mm wide, 4.9mm thick and weighs 3.6g.Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt, p.327, fig.186 and are dated to circa 75 - 175 AD.
