Title
Brooch: A copper-alloy two piece Colchester brooch.
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester-derivative brooch with a rearhook, dating to the 1st century AD. The remains of the brooch consist of a brooch that has a large circular perforation at the top of the head and another in the middle of the crossbar; both would have held the spring and its external chord in place. The cross bar itself is semi-cylindrical, with traces of iron corrosion suggesting that the missing pin and spring were composed of iron. The neck of the brooch is lightly curved and the outer surface of the body is decorated with a moulded sub-triangular ridge which runs from the head to a third of the way down the bow. The brooch body is sub-triangular in cross-section and tapers simply to an undecorated flat-edged foot. The vertical catchplate on the reverse of the brooch is still intact and has a singular triangular perforation; the outer edge is curved to facilitate the pin. The brooch is complete save for its iron pin, external chord, coiled spring and axial pin. The brooch measures 44.6 mm long, 18.8 mm wide (at crossbar), 2.4 mm thick (at brooch body) and weighs 5.22 grams. It has an even dark green patina. Cf. Hattatt 2007, fig. 156.
