Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Published
Two amorphic piece of copper alloy slag. Found in an area with Bronze Age and Roman artefacts.

Scientific analysis of the elemental composition of the copper alloy would allow a more acc…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Published
Early Roman cast copper-alloy zoomorphic Dragonesque brooch, incomplete as the tail is missing and also the pin. A crudely made example with angular edges, unlike most others this has a reversed 'S' shape. The reverse is flat with many parallel scratch marks which probably derive from the movement of the pin. The obverse is decorated with a 'Celtic-style' moulded decoration and there are circles in relief on each 'dragon's head', mimicking an eye and a smaller nostril. Although this is probably a type of Dragonesque brooch that did not carry any enamel in the grooves and spaces, it is…

The ten coins range in date from AD69-79; all coins were minted under the emperor Vespasian, showing his head on the obverse. The collection was worth 20 asses, which is not an unreasonable amount to carry in a wrist-purse. Since we have no evidence of burial or of a container, it is hard to know whether these coins should be classified as a hoard or as a multiple casual loss. Catalogue (Dr David Shotter): 1) Sestertius: Head of Vespasian right/ [IVDAEA CAPTA S C] As RIC 2(2) (Vespasian), 159 2) Sestertius: Head of Vespasian right/ [ROMA S C] (??) 3) As: Head of Vespasian right ...]…
