Description: | An incomplete Roman lozenge-shaped plate brooch dating to the period c. AD 100 - 200. The pin is missing. The brooch measures 36.44mm in length, 25.26mm maximum width, 5.07mm minimum width, is 9.32mm thick and weighs 5.84g.The brooch consists of a lozenge-shaped plate with a circular reserve in the centre, which retains traces of degraded enamel of uncertain original colour. There is another raised reserve running around the edge of the plate, creating a second field also retaining traces of degraded enamel. The brooch exhibits a knop filled with degraded enamel projecting from each of the cardinal points. At the top of the plate the back of the knop has two D-shaped pierced lugs for the missing hinged pin mechanism. One of the lugs is incomplete due to old breaks. At the opposite end of the plate is an elongated oval knopl. The trapezoidal catchplate projects from the back of the knop and terminates in an incomplete rolled pin rest.Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt, R, 2000, p. 348, nos. 579 & 1088.
