Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman Colchester brooch. The head consists of a small, flat, rectangular cross-bar. To the rear a spring survives, secured with a chord through a central, forward-facing hook. The bow curves out from the head, before tapering gently to a point at the foot. Slight remains of the catch-plate can be seen to the rear. The metal is very corroded with a greenish patina. According to Bayley and Butcher (2004, p.149) these brooches were used from the early first century AD until a few decades post-Conquest.
