Roman cast copper alloy button and loop fastener similar to Wild class IX with a transverse toggle for the head. The loop is teardrop shaped in plan with a rounded outer edge the sides of which curve inwards then straightened to meet at a point at the base of the shank. It is circular in section. The outer edge has some large indents caused by corrosion. The shank rises at c.60 degrees to the loop and is also circular in section. The transverse bar making the 'button' is reminiscent of toggles with a circular section and thickened middle flanked by rounded knops at the end. The bar is 20.8mm long and 8.7mm in diameter at the centre. The loop is 13.8mm wide and the entire piece is 22.3mm long by 13.5mm thick, it weighs 8.86 grams.
Wild suggests class IX dates to c. AD 150-300 but suggests their loops are rectangular in section. There is a clear similarity in this piece to the late Iron Age to early Roman looped toggles and, in the form of the loop, to the Class I button and loop fasteners that immediately succeeded them. This interpretation (of a late Iron Age/early Roman date) is supported by SWYOR-6E5C30, a similar example form a hoard of metalwork dated c.100 BC to AD 100. See also IOW-D9EA47, NMS-79E456 and BH-E2B980.

Central part of the bow of Roman cast copper alloy brooch of AD c.25-150. The head, foot and pin are missing. The bow is a flat strip, narrowing slightly towards the foot. It is curved in profile although it is not clear how much of this is original and how much damage. The upper and lower ends of the remaining section are plain. Down the centre of the rest of the front runs a pair of raised ribs. The ribs end in a distinct transverse line at the foot where the bow thins. The back is plain a part from the start of the central catchplate, just above the break at the foot. The piece is now 33.2mm long, 13.2mm wide and 1.8mm thick and weighs 4.56 grams.
It may originally have been of strip bow form or a T-shaped brooch such as SOM-47CB27 which has a similarly flat bow with robust moulded decoration.

Roman cast copper alloy brooch, probably of strip bow form although as it is missing most of the head and the foot other Aucissa varients cannot be completely ruled out. At the head the bow starts to widen before ending in an irregular old break. There is just the start of the central groove which once held the hinged pin. The curled over upper edges of the wings which would have formed a cylinder to hold the spindle for the hinged pin are missing. It is not clear if these curled forward (as on Aucissa types) or backwards, underneath the head (as on local varients of the Aucissa type including strip bow brooches).
The bow is flat and rectangular in section. After narrowing below the head it continues to narrow very slightly down its length before the break. It is even in thickness from the head to the break at the foot and has only a very shallow curve in profile. It has broken above the catchplate. The front of the bow is moulded with raised edges, inside which are grooves runnign down the length flanking a broad raised central ridge. the grooves are decorated with incised zigzag lines. The piece is now 30.6mm long, 7.1mm wide and 1.4mm thick and weighs 1.54 grams.
Bayley and Butcher (2004, 154) suggest that most strip brooches are of British manufacture and date to AD c.25-c.70. SOM-0B7204 on this database is similar but with different decoration down the bow. Wedlake (1982:122) no.25 from Nettleton, Wiltshire is also very similar.

Roman incomplete cast copper alloy developed T-shaped brooch dating to the late first to early second century AD. Most of the pin, lower part of the bow, foot and part of the head loop are missing. The head has two hollow cylindrical wings, now 25.8mm wide, to hold the axis bar for the hinged pin. One is complete but the other is missing the tip and split at the end. The complete example has an incised transverse groove just before the end. In the open ends is a white substance, possibly solder to hold the axis bar. Between the wings on the under side of the head is a slot. This contains the copper alloy axis bar on which the pin would have hinged. Part of the strip copper alloy pin survives, now stuck pointing upwards. This has a reddish corrosion compared to the green on the rest of the brooch and appears to have corroded more heavily, possibly because it is a different alloy. There is an incomplete head loop formed of a solid flat tab at the top of the head which starts at a rectangular projection then expands out into a circular loop. It has broken across the loop.
The bow has a sub-rectangular shaped cross section with a slightly concave back and flat front and sides. It projects at 90 degrees from the head then almost immediately bends down at c.70 degrees and runs flat to a large knop before starting to bend down again before the break. It has been bent outwards slightly by damage. Before the first bend it is plain. Between the bend and knop is a recessed central panel filled with two complete and two half lozenges formed from a lattice of crossed raised lines. These probably once held enamel. The bow thickens below the recessed rectangle where there is knop formed of three raised transverse ridges. The back of the knop is hollowed slightly. Below this the bow becomes D-shaped in section just above the old break. The foot of the brooch and the remainder of the bow are lost beyond this point.
It is now 28.0mm long, 11.3 mm thick; it weighs 7.69 grams.
T-shaped brooches are very variable in the decoration on their bows. Bayley and Butcher (2004:167) suggest this type is mainly South Western in distribution and dates to the later first - early 2nd century AD (c75-150). T105/6 and SOM-49B944 appear similar without the knop.

Roman incomplete cast copper alloy developed T-shaped brooch dating to the late first to early second century AD. The pin, lower part of the bow, foot and part of the head loop are missing. The head has two hollow cylindrical wings, now 37.9mm wide, to hold the axis bar for the hinged pin. One is complete but the other may be broken slightly at the end. Both have three transverse incised lines near the end. In the open ends is a white substance, possibly solder to hold the axis bar. Between the wings on the under side of the head is a slot This contains the axis bar on which the pin would have hinged but the pin is now missing. Iron corrosion suggests the bar and possibly the pin were iron. There is an incomplete head loop formed of a solid flat tab at the head which starts at a rectangular projection broken across the top with an old break before the loop.
The bow has a C-shaped cross section with a concave back and convex curved front. It projects at 90 degrees from the head then immediately starts to curve over towards the foot. It is broken just below the head. The upper part is very thick but it seems to be thinning towards the break. The bow narrows consistently from the head to the break. It has moulded decoration on the front with a broad raised central strip running down from the tab. This strip is decorated apparently with pairs of transverse lines alternating with plain sections but it is very corroded, obscuring some details of this decoration.
It is now 15.4mm long including the loop, 20.7mm thick and it weighs 13.48 grams.
T-shaped brooches are very variable in the decoration on their bows. Bayley and Butcher (2004:167) suggest this type is mainly South Western in distribution and dates to the later first - early 2nd century AD (c75-150).

Roman cast copper-alloy initial T-shaped brooch with hinged pin dating to c. AD 50-100. Part of the head and upper part of the bow survive, the rest are lost to old breaks. The brooch head has open-ended cylindrical wings, both are missing the ends and they are now 17.3mm wide. The remaining short sections of the wings are plain. There is a large transverse slot through the centre of the underside of the head, between the wings, where the pin hinges. The head of the copper alloy pin remains in this slot but the remainder is missing to an old break.
The bow is D shaped in section with a flat back. It rises at c.90 degrees to the head before curving over 90 degrees almost immediately to before running relatively straight for a section; just before the break it starts to curve down to the foot. The bow tapers in width and thickness gradually but consistently towards the narrow foot which is broken with a worn break. The upper part is decorated with at least four raised ribs which appear to converge as they go down the bow to form triangles. The lower part of the bow is corroded, obscuring the details of this decoration. The catchplate is missing with the foot. The brooch is now 27.9mm long, 10.1mm thick and weighs 4.75 grams.
Bailey and Butcher (2004:158) illustrate similar pieces although with a range of different moulded decoration and suggest a Flavian or slightly earlier context. SOM-A5A846 on this database appears similar but more complete.

Fragment of a Roman cast copper alloy finger ring. Only the bezel, parts of both shoulders and about a tenth of the hoop survives, the rest is lost to old breaks and the remaining part of the hoop is bent under. The ring has a wide bezel with an oval recess in the centre, probably to hold an intaglio, now lost. The recess contains traces of a white substance, probably a calcium carbonate cement to hold the intaglio. The shoulders taper in width away from the bezel to the hoop and are angled down at c.45 degrees to it. The hoop and shoulders have a slight D-shaped section with flat inner side and slightly convex outer side. It now measures 21.4 mm in length, 11.2 mm in width, 1.8 mm in thickness and weighs 1.72g.
The D shaped section to the hoop and shoulders that taper in width along with the recessed oval bezel suggest Henig type III dating to the late first to mid-second century AD.

An incomplete post-Medieval sheet silver disc belonging to a cufflink (c. 1675-c. 1700 AD. Treasure case no. 2012 T523.
The disc is circular in plan and the down-turned edge is complete but misshapen. Raised decoration at the front consists of clasped hands with a crown above and two small flaming hearts below. At the rear there is a soldered wire attachment loop.
Diameter: 16.53mm; thickness: 4.98mm. Weight: 0.88g.
Cufflinks and buttons with this design are considered to have originally been produced to commemorate the marriage of Charles II to Catherine of Braganza (1662), but continued to be used as a general symbol of love and/or marriage.
The find contains a minimum of 10% silver and predates 1711. It thus qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of precious metal content and age.
