Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of Colchester-derivative (double-pierced lug) type, dating from the first century AD. The remains of the brooch consist of a double-lugged head, with both semi-circular crossbar arms attached but missing a small portion of their outer edges; below this is a lightly curving sub-triangular body with a raised central rib running down its vertical centre. The body is incomplete, broken approximately three-quarters of the way down. No traces of the spring, pin or catchplate remain, save for a large amount of iron corrosion at the double lugs, behind the wings.The brooch measures 26.34 mm long, 20.51 mm wide (at crossbar), 11.02 mm thick (at crossbar) and weighs 4.20 grams. The brooch is of an overall medium green colour. Cf. Hattatt 2007, p. 297, fig. 156.
