Title
BROOCH
Description
English:

A fragment of a Roman copper alloy possible developed T-shaped brooch dating to the 1st or 2nd century AD.

Only one wing and a portion of the vertical body only remain. The wing is a cylindrical tube with an open end. There is a vertical slot cut where the middle of the wings would have been to accommodate a hinged pin, now lost.

The bow projects from the front of the wings and is sun-rectangular in cross section. Its front has two collars extending from the top of the wings to part way down its length. The main body of the bow has a small triangular cell which may have held enamel although no trace of this or cement now survives.

The brooch is an even green colour.

The brooch is 18.7mm long, 15.9mm wide, and weighs 3.68 grams.

Similar examples to this brooch illustrated by Hattat (2000: 302) and Mackreth (2011: 63, 66, 71) No. 12791, 2775 and 2188. Hattat describes these as Wilsford T-shaped brooches while Mackreth terms them Colchester derivative hinged brooches. Both date this form to the end of the 1st century AD and the 2nd century. It is perhaps more apt to describe this as a developed T-shaped which Bayley and Butcher (2004:167) suggest dated to c. AD 75-150.
