Description: | A fragment from a Roman brooch, dating to the 1st century AD. All that remains is part of the bow and the catchplate, with the tip of the foot broken away. The catachplate appears to have had a triangular perforation, which would suggest an early date for the brooch. The fragment shows traces of decorative ribbing along the bow. A similar example can be found on the PAS database: ESS-AB0C08.Due to its condition, it is impossible to asign a classification to this brooch. However, it is clear that it is an early form of bow brooch, possibly along the lines of a Colchester derivative or an even earlier type.length: 32mm.
