Description: | A Roman copper-alloy Colchester-derivative (two-piece) brooch, dating from the mid to late 1st century AD.The wings are of C-shaped section, with a portion missing from the right-hand end. Vertical grooves and ridged mouldings decorate the outer surface of the wings. Three coils of a spring, probably made of iron, remain in situ, held in place by a central axis bar, which is contained within a perforated lug at the centre of the head's underside; a second such lug, immediately above the first, retains a length of the copper-alloy external chord. A V-shaped notch separates these lugs from a flat-topped ridge, which runs the length of the parallel-sided bow, creating a trapezoidal section. The openwork catchplate has a triangular perforation and a rolled outer side.Length: 30.6mm; maximum width: 15.5mm. Weight: 4.05g.
