Description: | A Roman copper alloy Hod Hill type brooch dating to 43-75 AD.The object has a narrow tube to hold the pin which is created by rolling the top of the brooch. There is a collar at the base of the head and a narrowing before the brooch widens to the main sub-rectangular plate. There are a series of vertical gooves which run from the head to the foot. At each side of the plate is a collared knop althought on of these is damaged and folded back. From the bottom of the plate, the bow tapers and has three collars before terminating in a rounded foot. the catchplate extends from the back of the object.Bayley and Butcher (2004: 70-72) suggests a post-conquest 1st century AD date range for brooches of this type.
