Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy Polden Hill type brooch, dating AD75-175. Only the head and part of the bow remain, which would have tapered to the foot. The head is semi-cylindrical and encases the coils of the spring. There is an integral loop at the end, through which the wire from the spring pin passes to secure it to the brooch. The pin itself has broken away. The metal has a mid-light green patina. Similar examples are recorded on the PAS database (cf. WMID-3833E9) and several are published in Hattatt (1985, nos.374-383). Sally Worrell suggests brooches of this type date from the late 1st to mid 2nd century AD. Dimensions: length: 18.56 mm; width: 17.88 mm; thickness: 9.96 mm; weight: 4.54g.
