It is a bow brooch, but very short, and has mouldings which are suggestive of both fly brooches and phallic symbols. It may be a trumpet headed variety, but the head is very thick and rounded, and is not a clear trumpet mouth. The head is decorated with an arched line which divides the plain area above from a stippled area below. There is a transverse concave groove across the top of the bow, and the rest of the bow is decorated with curved lines which are far apart at the top, and close together at the base. The area between the lines is stippled and the outer areas are plain. These lines have the appearance of insect wings folded over the fly's body. The foot is bulbous. This makes it look a little like a phallus. The bow is a rounded rectangle in section. Behind the foot is a wide projecting tab which was presumably the catchplate, though no catch survives. The edges are rounded and worn making it impossible to tell if there are breaks. Behind the head is a tubular housing holding an iron axis bar and the hinge part of an iron pin. The rest of the pin does not survive. A close parallel for this unusual small brooch has not yet been found, but the similarity to both fly brooches and phallic brooches suggest a second century date. -1.443394SE3703Nummus, House of Constanine, Urbs RomaHouse of ConstantineLRBC 51Nummus (AE 1 - AE 4)YORKCOINNORTH YORKSHIRE2012-05-16T10:10:37ZYORKSHIRE AND THE HUMBER15330Copper alloyTreveri (Trier, Germany)12A267.jpg381678Kevin LeahyKevin LeahyHelmeted head, left503237FulfordFAKL-37D1D23Restricted Access0.8TRPimages/kleahy/Wolf and Twins [VRBS ROMA]2012-05-16T16:40:00Z-1340ROMAN53.915565Wolf and twins Nummus of the House of Constantine, 'Urbs Roma' type, LRBC 51 V [rbs] - ROMA-1.072786Magnus MaximusSiliquaCOPELANDCOINCUMBRIA2012-05-16T10:09:42ZNORTH WEST18.13383SilverTreveri (Trier, Germany)LVPL-37CE60.jpg381547Vanessa OakdenVanessa OakdenDiadem, draped and cuirassed bust right.503236SeascaleLVPL-37CE604Restricted Access The object has not been seen by the FLO who recorded it from the attached image. 1.8TRPSimages/voakden/2012-05-23T10:21:00ZVIRTVS ROMANORVM1388ROMAN54.35121Roma seated facing, head left, holding globe and spear.

The brooch appears to be similar to 118 in fig. 203 of Hattatt's 'A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches'. The brooch is circular with a distinct rim around its edge and a hexagonal star-shaped design at its centre. This star encompasses a central raised circle, and includes the addition of circular protrusions at each of its six points. Also evident at the points of the star are small dots of residual red enamel. The colour of the brooch between the points of the star alternates between black and dark-green. The reverse of the brooch also has a dark-green patina, alongside evidence of iron staining. The catchplate and lug are largely intact, but the pin is missing. -1.410908503206KENT-36E4E6HANGING BOWLEARLY MEDIEVALA copper-alloy escutcheon from an Early Medieval hanging bowl. The mount is circular in plan; the edges are slightly damaged, but the majority of the mount survives. The mount is convex in profile, suggesting it is a mount from the side of the bowl rather than the base. The front is decorated with molded cell recesses; one central circle which is surrounded by smaller circles at 12, 3, 6 and 9 0'clock. In between these four circles are trefoil shaped cell recesses. All of these cells set with numerous small panels of fine millefiori glass, square and circular in plan. The Central circular cell has the largest panel of millefiori glass (4.4mm square) which is formed of a red and white checker board design. This is surrounded buy alternate yellow and red/white circular panels. All eight of the outer cells have the same three circular glass panels with in them (3.6-3.8mm in diameter); one red and white check, one black and white check and one with red in the center surrounded by a black cross on a white background. Where the escutcheon has been broken and the glass is missing it is possible to see a substraight in to which the glass has been set. The reverse of the escutcheon is concava and undecorated. The surface is very worn but it is possible make out one vestigle lug; possible the remains of an attatchment lug. A simialr example can be seen on the database: DEV-7AE0B6. This is dated from the 7th-9th centuries AD. The escutcheon is 32.1mm in diameter, 5.4mm thick and weighs 15.4 grams. 60090042012-05-16T10:07:27Z2012-11-01T11:28:39Z15.432.15.41KENTSWALERestricted AccessEastchurch51.4034580.845279images/jjackson/Jennifer JacksonCopper alloyKENT-36E4E6.jpg381532SOUTH EAST AND LONDONEAST LINDSEYBULLALINCOLNSHIRE2012-05-16T10:04:57ZEAST MIDLANDS1417Lead Alloy35.13PAS_1818_papal_bulla.jpg381546Amy DownesAmy Downes20.07503234HorncastleSWYOR-37BC904Restricted Access Papal bullae were used as seals on official papal documents sent out from Rome (and during the schism, Avignon) as a means of authentication. Tim Pestell has stated on other bulla records: "Papal bulls came as two basic types, according to the contents of the document: Tituli, or "Letters of Grace", essentially granted or confirmed rights, conferred benefices or promulgated statutes. They generally had their lead bullae attached with cords of silk. Mandamenta, or "Letters of Justice" were mandates that conveyed papal orders, prohibitions or injunctions, and had their bullae attached by hemp threads". They may have also had a secondary use as an amulet, which may explain the ancient damage to this example. 27.21images/acooper/2012-05-16T10:52:30Z11431MEDIEVAL53.2312635.73 A lead alloy Medieval Papal Bull issued by Martin V who was Pope from 1417 - 1431. Only half of the seal survives because it has been cut in half in antiquity. This cut reveals the void through the centre where the threads or ribbon would have passed. There are also deep grooves on the reverse, parallel with the cut; perhaps failed attempts to cut the bulla. The obverse depicts the face of St Paul (St Peter is on the missing fragment) below the inscription SPA [SPE] (SPA = Sanctus Paulus, SPE = Sanctus Petrus), all of which are surrounded by a beaded border, flanking the outside edge of the bulla. St. Paul is seen on the left looking right, with a long pointed beard, within a backwards-C shaped beaded border, joined to the main. There is a cross between the saints. The reverse bears the legend "[M](A)R / [TIN]VS / [PP] •V•" within a beaded border. 'PP', is an abbreviation of pastor pastorum - meaning shepherd of the shepherds. The style of lettering is distinctive, being more lombardic than other bullae, the U in Martinus is particularly rounded rather than a V. The surface of the bulla has a well developed cream coloured patination and the bulla is in very good condition. Compare Figure 30, number 8 in The Salisbury Medieval Catalogue Volume 3. A complete example of a bulla of Martin V can also be seen on the Cambridgeshire Association for Local History website at http://www.calh.org.uk/review.htm. This appears to be the first example of Martin V recorded on the PAS database. -0.188726Nummus, House of ValentinianHouse of ValentinianNummus (AE 1 - AE 4)YORKCOINNORTH YORKSHIRE2012-05-16T10:02:21ZYORKSHIRE AND THE HUMBER15364Copper alloyA266.jpg381677Kevin LeahyKevin LeahyBlank, no detail survives503233FulfordFAKL-37B2D13Restricted Access0.8images/kleahy/GLORIA ROMANORVM2012-05-16T16:38:00Z?1378ROMAN53.915565Emperor with labarum dragging captive, right Nummus of the House of Valentinian, 'Gloria Romanorum' type, poor condition, worn and damaged ?-1.072786QuillionCREWE AND NANTWICHDAGGERCHESHIRE2012-05-16T10:00:30ZNORTH WEST1400Copper alloy64.5LVPL-37ABE2.jpg381545Vanessa OakdenVanessa Oakden42.99503231ActonLVPL-37ABE24Restricted Access The object has not been seen by the FLO who recorded it from the attached image. 36.9images/voakden/2012-05-16T10:59:00Z11600MEDIEVAL53.06388311.7 A cast copper alloy daggor quillion guard dating from the Medieval to the Post-Medieval period.

The rectangular sectioned projection tapers below the transverse groove towards the sub-triangular tang-hole. The guard terminates on each end with a sub-rectangular curved quillion, one of which is incomplete. The complete terminal is decorated on one face with two transverse grooves between which is a diagonal groove. The object has a dark brown patina and appears to be in good condition. The object would have been mounted on a dagger in between the blade and the handle, helping to protect the hand from a blow and also preventing it slipping down the blade. These quillion guards can be dated to the 15th - 16th Century (Read 1996:83). -2.568506NORTH WARWICKSHIREDRESS HOOKWARWICKSHIRE2012-05-16T09:59:56ZWEST MIDLANDS1500Copper alloy24.87wmid-37a9c1.jpg400305Tom BrindleTom Brindle15.62503230WMID-37A9C14COLESHILL3.9images/tbrindle/2012-10-15T16:38:54Z11700POST MEDIEVAL52.4895521.95 A cast copper-alloy dress hook of probable post-medieval date and probably a fitting from a sword belt.

The terminal is formed in the shape of an eagle's head, the beak apart holding a spherical pellet between the tips of the beak. The eyes are clearly formed and the terminal has been cast to form pronounced brow ridges over the eyes. Small patches of dried mud and corrosion products prevent the original surface of the artefact from being seen clearly. Despite this it looks likely that the surface may have been detailed with fine incised or moulded lines that formed the outline of the representation of feathers. This detail is present around the neck and on top of the head. The head emerges from a collar of what seems to have been three flat sub-triangular projections, the most complete of which has a thickness of 4.00mm, length of 10.00mm and width of c.18.80mm where it joins the bird's neck. These projections may have been intended to represent petals or leaves. It is unclear, due to the dried mud and corrosion products, whether a fourth 'petal' projected from the back of the neck. This is probably less likely as the gap between the two side projections is much narrower than the space occupied by the three surviving or partially surviving projections. The lack of a rear-facing projection might instead suggest that the terminal was designed with the back of the neck kept free of projections so that it could be positioned close to something else and that the terminal was intended to be most frequently viewed from the front and sides. The oval diameter of the neck above the collar of 'petal' projections is width 22.20mm x length (front to back) 29.77mm. Below the collar the artefact continues for a further c.4.44mm, this length is irregular but does end with an approximately transverse break. The artefact ends with an irregular oval, the diameter which has a width of 21.19mm x length (front to back) of 27.19mm. The terminal is hollow and the walls of the artefact below the collar range from 3.85mm tapering to 1.83mm below the front of the neck. The hollow of the artefact was filled with dried mud, much of which has been carefully removed, though some does still remain. Although the remaining mud hids the internal area behind the beak, the beak would have been cast solid as a hollow casting would not have been strong enough for the function of the artefact. Weight is 79.76g, height 35.35mm, width 22.70mm, length front to back of neck is 28.91mm and length from front of beak to back of neck is 50.59mm.
