Description: | Head fragment of copper alloy Roman brooch. The fragment comprises of the winged C-section spring cover and initial part of bow. The spring, spring assembly, pin, remainder of the bow with catchplate are all missing. The curving bow fragment has a moulded inverted T-shaped section with the flat bar located on the underside of the curve, the upperside is decorated with lateral flanges and a series of three axially aligned grooves running along its length. Insufficient remains to positively determine the type but a small depressed scar at the centre extremity of the head, coupled with the style, suggests it is probably a Colchester derivative, possibly a rearhook type. Circa 50-150 AD.
