Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman gilded disc brooch (AD c.200-350). It is missing its pin, hinge lug and catchplate as well as fragments from its rim. Overall, the brooch measures 35.3mm long, 33.3mm wide and 4.7mm thick. It weighs 12.79g.The brooch is very worn, so little remains of the original decoration and there are only traces of gilding. At the centre of the brooch is a circular setting with a raised border. At its centre there are traces of a raised area which may have been a smaller setting. Around the edge of the central circular setting is a ring shaped area, which contains what appear to be raised zigzagged lines of decoration but these are very worn. On the reverse is a recessed patch of pale green corrosion product where the catchplate would have been. There are also traces of silvering or tinning on other parts of the reverse.
