Title
Cast c-alloy disc brooch
Description
English: Cast copper alloy disc brooch dating from the early Roman period, probably from c. AD80-250. The brooch is circular in plan with a plain reverse and a hinged spring mechanism. While the foot is complete, part of the pin is missing. The obverse of the brooch looks undecorated, but it was probably decorated with an extra applied sheet of (possibly) repousse decoration. There is a thin white residue in the crevices of the obverse, and also, a central flat rivet, which would have have kept the extra sheet in place. There is no other evidence of it and it is uncertain how the sheet was decorated (geometrical or figurative).
