Description: | A copper alloy Roman T-shape brooch dating to c AD 50-150. The brooch is incomplete and missing its pin and the curl of the catchplate. The bow of the brooch is bent at right angles. The wings are tubes of copper alloy with a hole through for the pin bar and a gap between them where the hinged pin fitted. The wings are decorated with two incised lines around the front of each. Next to the bow, there are raised ribs on either side flaring out diagonally from the top of the brooch to the bottom of the wings. The bow comprises an undecorated slender strip, circular in profile, that narrows to a sharp point at the foot. The catchplate extends back from the lower section of the bow. The back is undecorated. The patina is dark green. Cf Hattatt, R, 2007, A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxbow Books, Oxford p 302, fig 161, no 916.
