Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman bow brooch of uncertain type dating to the period c. AD 50 - 150. The head, wings, pin and part of the bow are missing. The brooch measures 31.54mm in length, 7.88mm maximum width, 3.96mm minimum width, is 6.76mm thick and weighs 1.87g.The brooch commences in an old break part-way along the bow and then tapers along its length. The bow is decorated by a ridged metal reserve running around the edge and across the bottom of the bow with a longitudinal groove running down the centre. The leg of the brooch is undecorated and tapers to the knobbed foot. The catchplate extends from the reverse of the lega nd terminates in an old break.The brooch is likely to be T-shape or T-shape derivative, but it is impossible to state more prescisely due to the absence of diagnostic elements.Cf. Hattatt, R, 2007, p. 301 - 304.
