Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman plate brooch. It is missing the catchplate, terminal end, and one side of the plate due to old breaks. The plate is flat and disc shaped in form. At the top and to one side of the plate are small integrally cast projecting semi-circular knops, one at the opposite side now missing due to old breaks. A circular rivet hole containing the corroded remains of a rivet is present at the centre of the plate, presumably indicative of additional decorative elements that no-longer survive. On the back face of the plate is an integrally cast semi-circular double pin lug, missing its pin and corresponding catchplate due to old breaks. The entire object measures 19.26mm in length, 18.05mm in width, 0.92mm in thickness at plate (4.14mm at pin lug), and 1.30g in weight.This is an incomplete plate brooch of Roman date. It is most likely to date to the 1st or 2nd centuries AD.
