Title
A possible Roman disc brooch
Description
English: An oval disc formed from cast copper alloy with a central setting, probably for a glass or semi-precious stone. There are traces of gilt on the surface and four circular holes piercing the outer edge. There is insufficient information on the rally record to determine if the object has evidence of an attachment pin on the reverse.

Disc or plate brooches were in use in Roman Britain predominantly in the 2nd Century (Bedoyere, 1991, 121). Similar examples may be seen on this database, for example YORYM-F6A164 and SWYOR-3D4F28, though these are without the pierced rim. These holes may be an unusual form of decoration, evidence of later reuse of the object or may point to an alternative function as a small mount of a later period.
