| Title |
Roman spoked disc brooch |
||
| Description |
English: Cast copper alloy spoked disc brooch dating from the later Roman period, that is c. the 3rd-4th century AD. The brooch survives nearly complete with only the iron pin missing. The brooch was made from cast copper-alloy with a tinned/silvered reverse and a gilded obverse. The pin was made from iron. It was a sprung construction with the spring still intact but very corroded and the pin missing. The pin rest is damaged. The surface of the brooch, especially on the obverse, survives nearly intact. The obverse is cast with a raised cone/tutulus which is surrounded by eight heavy cast spokes. They touch, on the outside a low rim which in turn is the inner border for a field of row of stampted/incised letter Ys. There is further hatched/diagonally incised decoration closer to the central cone which is topped by a biconical knop.
