A worn and damaged Roman copper alloy brooch fragment. Only the foot and part of catchplate survive. The remaining section of the bow has traces of a rouletted pattern down the length edged by a plain border on either side. This brooch may have been a Langton Down or an Aucissa type but too little of it survives to be certain,
Class: Aucissa variant.
