Description: | A fragment of a Roman copper alloy T-shaped brooch, dating AD 69-96. All that remains of the brooch is the head and part of the bow. The head is formed of a cylindrical section with a copper alloy axial bar running through it. There is a notch on the outer edge where the pin would have been attached. The pin is no longer present. The notch indicates the pin was hinged, rather than sprung. The bow curves gradually downwards and tapers towards the foot. T-shaped brooches tend to date to the Flavian era (AD 69-96) and thus this brooch has been broadly dated to that period. Dimensions: length: 18.64 mm; width: 27.90 mm; thickness: 6.73 mm; weight: 2.52g.
