Roman brooch: Polden Hill type. |

| Description |
English: A cast copper Roman brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill type (flat wing ends type, Western Group), cf. Mackreth 2011, 5.a3. Plate 49. The wings are semi-cylindrical with wing caps. The caps each have a small central hole which holds the copper alloy axis bar in place. The wings are decorated with a vertical ridge with fine ribbing. Around the axis bar the copper alloy spring is wound. There appears to be 7 coils plus the pin. Only a fragment of the pin remains. The spring chord crosses above the spring and is held in place by a central up turned hook on the centre of the upper edge of the wings. The bow head is slightly hump-like in profile. The bow head is decorated with three vertical ridges with fine ribbing, which travels down the bow as well. The bow is broken at the approximate mid point. The break is a recent break. The surface of the brooch has a well developed dark green patina. The brooch is in a good condition. It measures 17.19mm across the wings and 20.64mm long. It weighs 6.8g.
The brooch is a Polden Hill type, which probably dates to c. 75 to 175 AD (Worrell, S. 2007 'Roman Brooch Timeline' North-West PAS Newsletter). Bayley and Butcher (Bayley and Butcher, 2004 Roman Brooches in Britain: A technological and Typological Study Based on the Richborough Collection Society of Antiquaries p. 160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands. |
