Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating to the period c. AD 50 - 150. The head, part of the bow and the pin are missing. The brooch measures 33.87mm in length, 9.76mm maximum width, 1.61mm minimum width, 13.33mm thick and weighs 3.29g.The brooch commences in an old break and expands into a devolved acanthus knop. The reverse of the knop is concave. The brooch then tapers into the leg and down to the knobbed foot. The leg thickens on the underside to form the triangular catchplate which terminates in an incomplete rolled pin rest.Although the head is missing, the shape of the bow indicates that this is a trumpet brooch. Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt, R, 2001, p. 328.
