Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman Hod Hill brooch. Most of the head is missing. The bow is strongly arched in profile with a straight foot. There is a slight collar in the bow behind the head followed by a central square section with a smaller rectangular section to either end. A side lug extends from either side of the central section, but their form is uncertain as they are heavily abraded. The outer face of the foot is decorated with three raised transverse mouldings. The remains of the catch-plate can be seen to the reverse.It probably belongs to Hull Type 62 or 63B. Their main phase of use is immediately post-Conquest to c. AD 70 (Bayley and Butcher 2004, 152-3, and see 71, fig.53, nos: 103-104 for parallels).Length: 31.93mm, width: 13.96mm, thickness: 3.68mm, weight: 2.28g
