Description: | Roman copper alloy circular plate brooch with the stumps of a catchplate and a double pin lug on the reverse. The spring and pin are missing, along with the enamel which would have been "inset into the plate showing through an encrustation of decorated white metal repoussé sheet" (Mackreth 2011, 156). The reserved concentric decoration consists of an inner thick and outer thin ring separated by a circle of pellets, and a circumferential frame which is scalloped internally. This arrangement is very similar to an example from Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk in 1994 (HER 30205; ibid. plate 106, no. 13234). The find spots lie c.6km apart. Diameter 32.8mm. Thickness excluding pin fixings 1.6mm. 2nd century
