Title
A Roman brooch.
Description
English: The object is a fragment of a Roman brooch, probably a Colchester Two-Piece brooch. The type is uncertain. It probably dates to the first to second centuries. 

 The brooch is made from cast copper alloy. It is a fragment of the lower portion of the bow. The bow is semi-circular in section which gradually tapers to a slightly bulbous bow foot. The upper terminal of the bow has an abraded simplistic acanthus. The break is possibly recently as the patina does not cover these breaks, but fresh metal is not visible. On the reverse of the bow is an abraded vertical ridge, which is all that is left of the catch plate. 


 
 The surface is abraded with traces of a mid grey/green coloured patina. There are also traces of a white metal alloy coating on the bow and catch-plate.
The object measures 37.5mm long and 6.3mm wide across the acanthus, and weighs 3.56g.
