Description: | An incomplete copper alloy flat, enamelled disc brooch of Roman date (AD 80-250). The brooch is sub-circular in profile and composed of a flat sheet of copper alloy. The outer edge has small, repeating lugs projecting in a regular repeating pattern around the circumference of the brooch but are now small and abraded due to either an old break or post depositional processes. The reverse retains a minor projection from the catchplate and upper loop for the pin. All missing aspects are so due to old breaks or post depositional processes.The decoration is integral and consists of a predominantly intact, raised circular outer border with two raised longitudinally running lines with a central pellet between them. To either side of the linear patter, within the outer circular border is a single, semi-circular raised decoration. Within the outer borders is retained, blue probable enamel. Within the semi-circular cells and inner linear cell there is retained, red, probable enamel.The metal is a light green in colour with a pitted patina.
