An incomplete copper-alloy Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (Mackreth Group 5, flat wing ends type, Western Group), cf. Mackreth 2011, 5.b1. Plate 50. No. 1735 of later 1st to mid 2nd century AD. The pin mechanism is missing, with the pin, as is the foot and catch-plate. The head has short wings (given a wide bow at this point) with oval perforated end plates; the axis bar is missing, both plates having abraded through. There is a double transverse groove and ridge at each terminal. Set forward from the centre of the head is a rearward facing hook: possibly a loop for retaining the chord that has broken through. The upper bow emerges from the wings initially at a width of c. 10.6mm before narrowing at a step, then tapering. Initially it turns through around ninety degrees. On its outer surface the features a small central ridge, outlined beyond by a triangular moulding. Either side of this moulding is a groove before ridges at the sides. The lower surface of the bow is slightly recessed. Such moulded decoration echoes that on Polden Hill variant brooches illustrated in Hattatt (2000, 301; fig. 160). The leg below is plain; as it narrows gradually it expands in thickness. The break before the catch-plate is old; there is also evidence of slight twisting. The brooch generally has a variable mid-brown colour.<\/p>", "notes": null, "reuse": null, "reusePeriodID": null, "created": "2013-11-19 14:54:48", "updated": "2017-04-26 14:24:45", "secwfstage": "3", "findofnote": null, "objecttypecert": "1", "datefound1": null, "datefound2": "2013-08-21", "inscription": null, "museumAccession": null, "subsequentAction": "1", "objectCertainty": "Certain", "dateFromCertainty": "1", "dateToCertainty": "1", "dateFoundFromCertainty": null, "dateFoundToCertainty": null, "subPeriodFrom": null, "subPeriodTo": null, "objdate1period": "21", "objdate2period": "21", "secuid": "PAS528B7BB8001DD2", "material1": "7", "material2": null, "manmethod": null, "decmethod": null, "decstyle": null, "complete": "2", "surface": null, "manufactureID": null, "culture": null, "smrRef": null, "hoardcontainer": null, "institution": "SOM", "reason": null, "primaryMaterial": "Copper alloy", "primaryBMmaterial": "10627", "secondaryMaterial": null, "secondaryBMmaterial": null, "decoration": null, "style": null, "manufacture": null, "surfaceTreatment": null, "completeness": "Incomplete", "preservation": null, "periodFrom": "ROMAN", "seneschalPeriodFrom": "RO", "bmPeriodFrom": "x41218", "periodoPeriodFrom": "p0gjgrs69ws", "periodTo": "ROMAN", "seneschalPeriodTo": "RO", "bmPeriodTo": "x41218", "periodoPeriodTo": "p0gjgrs69ws", "reusePeriod": null, "ascribedCulture": null, "culturePeriodo": null, "cultureBM": null, "discmethod": "Metal detector", "fromCirca": "Circa", "toCirca": "Circa", "findSpotID": "566356", "countyID": "10578", "parishID": "10356", "districtID": "10495", "regionID": "41427", "fourFigure": "Restricted Access", "map25k": "ST7029", "map10k": "ST72NW", "knownas": "Wincanton", "woeid": "26344693", "gridlen": "6", "geonamesID": null, "accuracy": "100", "what3words": null, "source": "From a paper map", "coinID": null, "obverseDescription": null, "obverseInscription": null, "reverseDescription": null, "reverseInscription": null, "cciNumber": null, "denominationID": null, "degreeOfWear": null, "allenType": null, "vaType": null, "mackType": null, "abcType": null, "bmcType": null, "reeceID": null, "dieAxis": null, "moneyer": null, "revtypeID": null, "categoryID": null, "typeID": null, "tribeID": null, "statusID": null, "rulerQualifier": null, "denominationQualifier": null, "mintQualifier": null, "dieAxisCertainty": null, "initialMark": null, "reverseMintMark": null, "statusQualifier": null, "ruler1": null, "ruler2": null, "mintID": null, "rrcID": null, "ricID": null, "tribe": null, "ironAgeRegion": null, "ironAgeArea": null, "denomination": null, "nomismaDenomination": null, "dbpediaDenomination": null, "bmDenomination": null, "primaryRuler": null, "viaf": null, "rulerDbpedia": null, "nomismaRulerID": null, "secondaryRuler": null, "periodName": null, "dateRange": null, "mintName": null, "nomismaMintID": null, "pleiadesID": null, "mintGeonamesID": null, "mintWoeid": null, "mintOsID": null, "mintGettyID": null, "mintWoeID": null, "mintDbPediaID": null, "mintWhat3Words": null, "mintBritMuseumID": null, "wear": null, "nomismaWear": null, "dieAxisName": null, "category": null, "type": null, "moneyerID": null, "nomismaMoneyer": null, "emperorID": null, "romanMintID": null, "reverseType": null, "status": null, "jettonClass": null, "jettonType": null, "jettonGroup": null, "thumbnail": "446871", "filename": "SOM-B7BB87.jpg", "filesize": "3", "imageLabel": "Roman Polden Hill (variant) brooch", "imageCopyrightHolder": "Somerset County Council", "imageLicense": "5", "imagedir": "images\/rwebley2\/", "region": "South West", "rallyID": null, "rallyName": null, "rallyDateFrom": null, "rallyDateTo": null, "landuse": null, "landvalue": "Cultivated land", "regionType": "European Region", "countyType": "County", "county": "Somerset", "districtType": "District", "district": "South Somerset", "parishType": "Civil Parish", "centreLat": "51.0388", "centreLon": "-2.3958", "parish": "Restricted Access", "subsequentActionTerm": "Returned to finder", "bmThesObject": null, "seneschalObject": "96665" } ] }
