Only the wings, spring and upper part of the bow survive. The brooch has semi-cylindrical wings in cross-section with full circular end-caps with a spring of 13 turns between them; the pin and chord are missing with the head loop projecting from the centre of the head, which would have held the chord, being broken. The face of the wings are decorated to either side of the head with a rope-like longitudinal rib followed by a short plain section, then a shallow longitudinal groove followed by a broader longitudinal groove and a raised longitudinal ridge around the endcap. The head of the brooch is swollen, comma-shaped in profile and has a serrated, rope-like ridge forming a crest running down the centre of the length of the bow. The bow is circular in cross-section. The bow is broken approximately one-third of the way down its length and the rope-like crest appears to end just above this break point. Brooches of Polden Hill type are dated AD 75-175.Polden Hill7517542013-05-18T21:43:53Z2013-05-18T21:47:32Z18.5533311DERBYSHIRESOUTH DERBYSHIRERestricted AccessDrakelow Area52.777057-1.64566images/cburrill2/Charlotte BurrillCopper alloyE7671_Roman_Polden_Hill_Brooch_3.jpg426971EAST MIDLANDS560725DENO-7C4AD7BROOCHIRON AGEAn incomplete cast and shaped copper-alloy Late Iron Age or Early Roman brooch; a Nauheim derivative type dating from 25 - 100 AD. The brooch is of one-piece construction but has been broken into two parts following discovery and has lost the pin in antiquity. The brooch has a spring of three turns with the spring being broken at the point of a fourth turn which would have been elongated to form the pin. The internal chord passes under the row of spring coils along the internal aspect of the head of the bow. The bow is a rounded triangle in section and an elongated tapering triangle in plan which tapers towards the foot. The head and neck of the brooch, which are bent at a sharp right angle to one-another, are decorated with moulding which is similar to the acanthus leaf decoration of Trumpet brooches, although in a two-dimensional form. The moulding consists of a 'waist' to the top and bottom of the neck with a sunken lozenge-shaped recess with raised rounded triangles above and below on the curve of the neck. Immediately below the lower 'waist' is further moulding consisting of two rounded downwards facing lobes and between them a triangle pointing upwards. The remainder of the length of the bow is plain apart from the foot which has two transverse grooves and a narrow border row of longitudinal grooves above. The catchplate is solid and has a rounded profile to the top and bottom, the return for securing the pin in place is missing.Nauheim Derivative2010042013-05-18T19:13:02Z2013-05-18T19:31:00Z5.11.89.656.51DERBYSHIRESOUTH DERBYSHIRERestricted AccessDrakelow Area52.777057-1.64566images/cburrill2/Charlotte BurrillCopper alloyE7671_Roman_NauheimDerivative_Type_Brooch.jpg426968EAST MIDLANDS560722DENO-7AE204COINROMANA copper-alloy dupondius of Nero (AD. 54-68).

The mount is of an unusual formed and cannot be closely paralleled in Williams's corpus. The mount is of roughly triangular form and is openwork with five apertures and one rivet hole. The long stepped flange (20.31mm wide) projects at right-angles from the back of the mount and this is pierced by two rivets, both of which survive. The mount is symmetrical and based on curling tendrils; there may be a debased animal head below the apex loop and there also appear to be two zoomorphic heads projecting from the bottom edge.Stirrup-strap mount1050110042013-05-17T17:09:45Z2013-05-17T17:15:14Z38.7334.9640.011BUCKINGHAMSHIRESOUTH BUCKSBEACONSFIELDSU928851.583359-0.673578images/dwilliams/David WilliamsCopper alloyAnglo-ScandinavianB13-243.JPG426930SOUTH EAST AND LONDON560687NMS-653EC7BROOCHMEDIEVALMedieval copper alloy annular framed brooch with pin constriction, pin missing.

The weight is hexagonal in plan with two flat faces and a sloped (bevelled) edge between the two so that the uppermost face, which carries a design, is slightly smaller than the plain underside face of the weight. the design is badly worn but appears to consist of a bust facing right with a single initial to either side. The initials are not clear but the left-hand letter could be K, F or R and the right-hand initial possibly being S. It has not been possible to closely identify the coin weight at this time but it is thought to be dated to the same period as similarly shaped weights. Withers, in 'Lions, Ships and Angels; Identifying Coin-Weights found in Britain', states that "Hexagonal weights are either Anglo-gallic or French from the 15th-16th centuries" (p.9).1400160042013-05-17T16:15:33Z2013-05-17T16:20:42Z8.516.935.011NOTTINGHAMSHIREGEDLINGRestricted AccessRavenshead Area53.089285-1.165297images/cburrill2/Charlotte BurrillCopper alloyE7670_CoinWeight.jpg426920EAST MIDLANDS560672NMS-6435D2VESSELMEDIEVALEverted rim sherd of a medieval to post-medieval copper alloy vessel, diameter not measurable.

Only the toes remain, the rest of the foot having been lost in antiquity. The hollow-cast piece, representing the figure's left foot, is skilfully moulded, with joints indicated and the nail of each toe clearly represented. Traces of a sandy, solid, mortar-like substance are contained within the voids on the undersides of the big toe and that adjacent and indicate the probably means by which the statue was attached to a base. The underside of the toes also has a flattend rim, allowing it to sit flush to a flat surface. The matte brownish-green corrosion product is consistent with a Roman date. Dimensions: 45.1mm wide, 31.3mm long, 9.3mm high. Weight: 23.58g. Although only a small fragment, this piece was clearly part of a high status statue, most likely a religious figure from a shrine or temple. The size of the surviving piece suggests a statue of approximately half life-size.4325042013-05-17T15:39:28Z2013-05-17T17:15:37Z23.589.331.345.11NORTHAMPTONSHIREDAVENTRYRestricted AccessRavensthorpe52.342235-1.047323images/jwatters/Julian WattersCopper alloyRoman_statue_13_56_1.jpg426916EAST MIDLANDS560665BH-63D376BROOCHROMANA Roman copper-alloy disc brooch. The circular brooch is of thin section and has a cast geometric design in its upper surface, defined by low, flat-topped ridges. This pattern takes the form of a thirteen-pointed star or stylised flower head, with a ring-shaped setting at the centre and a single pellet within each triangle. At least half of the mottled blue enamel survives within both the outer and inner rings, but the central cell is empty. The hinge and catchplate are located at opposing ends of the flat reverse. The hinge comprises two right-angled lugs, both perforated to hold the iron axis bar, around which is wrapped the spring coils. The catchplate consists of a single right-angled lug, missing its rolled upper edge. Dimensions: 22.9mm long, 22.5mm wide, 1.3mm thick. Weight: 4.39g.
