Description: | An incomplete Roman copper-alloy T-shaped brooch, dating from the late 1st to mid 2nd century AD.The axis bar is contained within a pair of subcylindrical wings, each of which has a flattened underside and, on its upper surface, a pair of angled, parallel grooves. In addition, the left-hand wing has a circumferential groove at its distal end. The pin remnant projects from a vertical slit in a box-like moulding at the centre of the head. The bow is of roughly D-shaped section, having a vertical ridge at its centre; this ridge is flanked by a pair of grooves, and each of the two outer sides is also marked by a vertical groove. The straight sides of the bow converge towards the point of the break, the patination of which suggests the damage occurred in antiquity.Length: 26.3mm; width: 33.3mm. Weight: 11.44g.
