Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy plate brooch of Roman date. The brooch is sub-circular with broken and worn edges. A shallow circular indentation is present at the centre of the brooch and a ring of gilding is also present. Any further definition has been lost due to the advanced nature of the corrosion and wear on the brooch.On the reverse of the brooch two worn narrow semi-circular projections are all that remain of the hinge for the pin and the catchplate. The reverse is undecorated though traces of silvering remain.The metal has a mid reddish-brown patina and is worn. The brooch is 32.1mm in diameter, 6.1mm thick and weighs 10g.A similar example is illustrated in Hattatt, p.364, fig.223, no.1214.
