Description
English: Incomplete copper alloy Romano-British ‘Colchester’ type two piece brooch. The wings on this brooch are complete and semicylindrical. Behind the head is complete lug with two perforations that is holding the surviving spring coil, though nothing else of the pin survives. There is a raised crest running from the head onto the bow. Running along the rest of the bow and onto the foot, which are semicircular in section, is a grooved line. The foot of the brooch ends complete without a foot knob. The curled catchplate is solid and complete. The object has an even mid green patina but has undergone some preservation. The brooch is 32.56mm long, 18.38mm wide across the wings, 6.06mm wide across the bow, 2.86mm thick and weighs 5.31g. Brooches of this type date from between 50-70AD. An almost exact example can be seen in Crummy 1983, figure 6, number 52.
