A copper alloy Roman knee brooch dating from about AD 150 - 250. It has a tubular head which is half open and contains the corroded remains of an iron spring. The bow is rectangular in section and has a raised ridge across each end of the upper bow. There is also a rideg across the reverse of the bow at the top of the lower bow; this is recurving, but the lower end and the foot are missing. The brooch has traces of silvering. The brooch is very similar to number 1227 on page 335 of Hattatt's Visual Catalogue. It is 29.46mm long, 16.14mm wide and 10.85mm thick. 6.53g.
