Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy Roman brooch of Dragonesque type dating from AD 75 - 175. The brooch is cast and both terminals or animal heads are missing, along with the pin. It has the characteristic S shape of a dragonesque brooch. Some doubt on its identification as a brooch is caused because the two ends do not appear to be broken.

It is thus cautiously recorded as a brooch, acknowledging the possibility that the ends are broken but very worn. The front of the object is decorated with …
