Title
Roman knee brooch
Description
English: A Roman copper-alloy Knee brooch dating to the late second to the early third century AD. The head is a flat, semi-circular plate, decorated with marginal diagonal notches. On the reverse, there are two semi-circular perforated lugs holding an axis bar and the sprung pin. The pin is intact. The bow is arched, faceted, hollow and approximately D shaped in section; it expands to a flat, triangular foot which is marginally grooved. The catchplate extends the full length of the foot and is rectangular in shape. The brooch measures 38mm in length; the head has a width of 19mm and the foot has a width of 14mm. The brooch weighs 7.2g. Bayley and Butcher classify this as a Type 171 and note that it is more common in Britain and rare or missing on continental sites. It occurs on military sites including South Shields, but also on southern civilian sites. The only dated examples come from a drain at the the legionary fortress of Caerleon dating to AD 160-230 and from the Jewry Wall site at Leicester dating to about AD 220 (Bayley and Butcher 2004, 179-180).
