Title
1st century Roman brooch fragment
Description
English: Fragment of copper alloy Roman brooch. This fragment represents part of the foot and catchplate from a 1st century Roman bow brooch. What remains is the straight foot section that would have run from the bow, and a complete curled catchplate with a single subtriangular perforation. The foot ends complete without a foot knob and is decorated with a large centrally raised rib. All the breaks are worn smooth and similarly patinated to the rest of the object, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The fragment is heavily abraded with a creamy light green patina with flashes of bright light green. It is 50.96mm long, 7.34mm wide across the foot, 10.3mm wide across the catchplate, and weighs 5.35g.
