Title
An incomplete copper-alloy, Colchester derivative, Polden Hill Roman brooch dating c. 70-150AD.
Description
English: An incomplete copper-alloy, Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (after Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 4.I.c, plate 48) Roman brooch dating c. 70-150AD.  The brooch is incomplete with the catch-plate and pin missing. The wings are cylindrical and appear to be undecorated.  The bow is D-shape in section. The head of the brooch has a hinged pin and a cast-on loop.  Above the head is an interesting moulding in the form of a stud with a crescent or lunate disc.  The stud may originally have been enamelled but this does not appear to have survived.  The brooch has a slightly pitted and abraded surface with a brown patina.

Length: 37.62mm; width of head: 18.62mm; thickness of bow: 5.69mm; weight: 8.8g
