Title
BROOCH
Description
English:

A copper alloy Roman flat disc brooch dating to c AD 80-250. The brooch is incomplete and the pin and catchplate are missing. The brooch is flat and circular in plan with a damaged and incomplete circumferential rim. The surface is decorated with a raised six-pointed star, a large pellet at each point, around a single large pellet. The pellets are linked by raised decoration looping from the medial edge of the pellet round to the next pellet. Originally the brooch would have had enamel decoration filling the cells but there is no longer evidence of this. On the back there is a raised rib which is the remnant of the catchplate and at the opposite side there is a raised circle which is the remnant of the pin mechanism. The area of the pin mechanism has a small hole penetrating through the brooch, it is not clear whether this is part of the pin mechanism or it may have been made to allow the damaged brooch to be worn as a pendant. The patina is dark green with lighter green patches. The brooch weighs 2.68g and measures 21.96mm in diameter and 1.56mm in thickness.
