Description: | Fragment of a copper-alloy Roman trumpet brooch, consisting of part of the bow, 26.7 mm long by up to 13.3 wide, and weighing 3.7 grams. The spring or hinge plate, pin, catch-plate and the lower part of the bow are missing, with an old break at the bow.The bow is D-shaped in cross section with 4 transverse ribs decorating the top. To the back of the D-shaped trumpet end, where the pin mounting would originally have been affixed, there are the stubs of four protruding pins at the corners of a rectangular cavity. The back of the bow is plain. At the top of the trumpet, opposite the bow, there are the remains of a projecting loop.There is a very similar example in Hattatt, fig. 187, no 439, which is dated to the 1st - 2nd century.
