Description: | An incomplete early Roman copper-alloy lozenge-shaped brooch dated to the mid 1st century. The brooch is missing its pin. The brooch is lozengeform in shape with two recessed concentric rings surrounding a circular perforation. Both ends have bifurcated terminals. The plate brooch is partially incomplete. To the reverse is a split lug for holding the pin. The reverse of the brooch is flat with a slightly raised section running the length of the brooch. There are traces of an iron rivet in the centre which was probably a rivetted boss.This is Riha (1979) type 7. 4. 1) with parallels known from Camulodunum (Hawkes and Hull 1947, 141-3) and Hacheston, Suffolk (Plouviez 2004, 101, nos. 166-167).
