Description: | An incomplete Roman gilt copper-alloy oval plate brooch dating to the period AD200-350. The brooch is of Hattatt's gilded glass 'centre-boss' type, missing the pin and spring mechanism. The brooch is oval in plan and has a raised oval collar in the centre which would have once contained a setting. A pair of rope-like mouldings decorate the flat panel surrounding the collar. Between the pair is a series of concentric circles. A raised rim runs around the perimeter. The surface has been gilded.Plate brooches usually date to the second and third centuries, while 'glass centre boss' types are thought to be slightly later, to the third if not the fourth century (Bayley & Butcher, 2004, p.178).
