Description: | Part of a Roman copper-alloy Colchester-derivative brooch, dating from the mid to late 1st century AD.The head and upper part of the bow survive intact, but the lower bow, spring and pin are absent, having been lost in antiquity. The wings consist of a horizontally aligned half-cylinder which angles upwards. A pair of perforated lugs, located at the centre of the head, would originally have contained the now-missing axis bar (lower) and external chord (upper). These lugs extend into a ridge which gradually peters out on the surface of the upper bow. At the point of the break, the bow is of oval cross section.Length: 33.1mm; width: 25.8mm; depth: 13.9mm.
