Title
Roman copper-alloy dragonesque brooch.
Description
English: An incomplete fragment of a copper alloy ‘dragonesque’ style plate brooch of early Roman date (75-175 AD). Only the central body part of the brooch survives. It is 37mm in length, 12mm wide and and it weighs 6.92gm. The brooch is very corroded, but some traces of blue enamel survive. The brooch has a bluey green coloured well developed patina which has been slightly abraded in places. The majority of abrasion is present on the edges of the brooch where some surface material has been lost.

Dragonesque brooches are discussed in Snape’s Roman Brooches from Northern Britain. They are believed to originate in the North of England.

Bayley and Butcher also note that the distribution of dragonesque brooches is mainly in Britain, with a marked concentration in the North, where they were presumably made (p172). Based on a review of literature, Worrell (2007) dates Dragonesque brooches to AD 75-175. Similar brooches can be seen in Hattatt, p152-7


Sally Worrell (unpublished, 2007) suggests that dragonesque style brooches date to the early phases of the Roman period in Britain c. AD 75-175.
