Title
Late Iron Age to early Roman Colchester One-Piece brooch
Description
English: An incomplete Late Iron Age to early Roman (c. AD 25 to c. 60) Colchester One-Piece brooch. The brooch comprises a rectangular-section bow which is bent to form an arch. The bow tapers slightly to a point and is flattened to form a triangular catchplate. At the other end, the bow tapers and becomes lentoidal in section to form the integral spring mechanism, of which only a small portion remains. The pin is missing. The brooch measures 42mm in length, a maximum of 8mm in width and 2mm in thickness.

Colchester One-Piece brooches are derived from Continental brooches (Bayley and Butcher, 2004, 149) and are a La Tène III type, and are common in the middle years of the first century. Worrell (2007) suggests they date to c. 25 to c. 60 AD. Hattat (Hattat, 1985) illustrates a similar brooch No. 250. Mackreth (2011) classes this type as a Colchester Derivative Part 3 Type 2 (The British Standard) Plate 22.
