Description: | An incomplete Roman cast copper-alloy T-shaped brooch (AD 70-150).The lower part of the bow, part of the wings and the pin are missing.The wings are cylindrical and fully enclose a copper-alloy axis bar. However, only the stub of one wing survives. A small portion of a corroded iron pin loop is situated within the slot at the top of the wings. In plan, the bow has a vertical longitudinal undecorated mid-rib. It is sub-triangular in cross-section and flat at the rear. The bow tapers in width from its junction with the wings towards the bottom where there is a transverse break. At the junction the width of the bow is 10.2mm and at the break it has a width of 8.1mm. The maximum thickness of the bow is 6.9mm.This brooch is corroded and appears to be stable at the moment. There are patches of a matt mid-green patina and iron staining is present at the rear. The breaks are old.Height: 32.0mm; width: 25.1mm. Weight: 13.49g.
