Title
Roman brooch
Description
English: An almost complete copper alloy dragonesque type brooch dating from AD 75 - 175. It is of Hunter type A2c with head form C. The object is S-shaped in plan with a dragon-style head. The head is a Hunter ( 2010, pg 97), form C, with an upright ear and defined eye and nose. There is an enamelled large circular eye.

The body is a Hunter (2010, page 97) type A2c with a raised band of lozenges across the body in a single row, flanked by enamlelled triangles. The triangular cells between the diamonds retain evidence of red enamel. On either side of the band are two curves triangular cells, one blue and one red with enamel. 

The entire object has a green patina. The rear is undecorated and is smooth. There is no sign of the pin and the foot is missing. Length 36.7mm, width 18.8mm, thickness 4.2mm and weight 8.84g.

Hunter (ibid) notes that enamelled types of Dragonesque brooch are markedly more popular on military and urban sites than they are on rural/native ones, and that Yorkshire is the undoubted home of this type of brooch.
