Description: | Copper alloy brooch. Trumpet brooch, Mackreth type TR 1.a1a. Cast brooch with trumpet head with paired spurs to retain pin gear (lost), and with a border to the head. The upper bow narrows, then expands at the first of three rounded mouldings which are carried all around the bow - the poor surface condition leaves it uncertain whether or how the mouldings may have been textured. Below the third moulding a probably straight lower bow with the stub of an unpierced catch plate behind it tapers towards a plain cylindrical pedestal foot. The origins of the type may lie with the previous association of Legio IX, based at Lincoln, with Pannonia. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-175.Length: 49.6mm, Width: 11.8mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4.7mm, Weight: 11.40gms.
