Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating to the period c. 50 - 150. The brooch measures 37.90 mm in length, 23.97 mm maximum width, 6.94 mm minimum width, is 19.87 mm thick and weighs 12.10g.It has a semicircular head with an incomplete suspension loop at the top. The curved edge of the head has a border of diagonal grooves. The reverse of the head is concave with the cylindrical wings and axis bar still intact at the centre. The bow extends from the head to a decorated acanthus button with three horizontal ribs, 2 dashed and the central complete, with a single collar on the bow above and below. The acanthus button decoration is to the front only. The lower part of the bow below the acanthus button, the foot and the catch plate are missing. Also missing is the pin. However, this must have broken due to the axis bar still being intact. There are breaks at the bottom of the suspension loop and below the central acanthus button, these breaks do not seem to be recently made.Cf. Hattatt, R., 2007, p. 326, no. 1436
