Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman Hod Hill type brooch, dating to the first century AD. Under half of the original brooch survives; the rolled wings that house the hinge bar are damaged and only the base of the pin is retained. The bow of the brooch has narrowed shoulders below the wings but then widens again into the main bow section which has moulded vertical ribs as decoration. These elements are also damaged and incomplete. The rest of the brooch is broken and missing. This brooch may have had side lugs, as similar examples in Hattatt (2007:322-323) illustrate. This type of brooch dates from c. AD 43-75.
