Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy disc and trumpet brooch, dating AD75-175. All that remains is the disc and part of the head. The disc has an annular recess, which would had contained enamel. Much of the head is missing, as well as the spring, pin and lower bow. The object has a mid-light green patina and dark red discolouration in the enamel cell, though this is not necessarily indicative of the enamel colour.Several similar examples are published in Hattatt (1985, nos. 450-453). This type of brooch has been dated to AD 75-175 (Worrell, unpub).Dimensions: length: 20.43 mm; width: 9.90 mm; thickness: 2.95 mm; weight: 1.41g. Reference: Hattatt, R. 1985. Iron Age and Roman Brooches. Oxford: Oxbow.
