Title
A cast copper alloy Roman Colchester brooch
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman Colchester one piece brooch dating to the first century AD. It has a narrow vertical bar, which held the spring, now mostly missing. The central coil is still visible. There is a coil, or possibly a hook, located in the centre of the vertical bar that bends towards the outer surface of the brooch, then bends abruptly upwards. This sits on top of a subrectangular bow, which angles 45 degrees towards the bar. The bow curves downwards towards the catchplate and tapers to a point; there is a central flute running the length of the bow. The catchplate is broken, but has evidence that it had circular openwork. The brooch is incomplete, missing the pin, most of the spring, and half of the catchplate; all breaks are old. It has a dark green patina. It measures 63.32 mm L x 15.14 mm W x 10.46 mm TH and weighs 7.50 g.
