Description: | A worn and incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch, dating to the later first or second century AD. The brooch fragment consists of the worn arms of the brooch, with a loop above at the head of the brooch, and lugs at either end of the arms, indicating a sprung mechanism. There are vertical curved mouldings from the head of the brooch down the bow, where a globular swelling separates the upper bow from the lower section; this lower section is now missing from an old break. The type of brooch is uncertain, it may be a Colchester derivative or possibly a reversed fantail type, other examples of which have similar, although not identical, mid-bow mouldings. Some tinning survives on both the front and reverse of the brooch. Suggested date: AD 50-150.
