A small copper-alloy Roman bow brooch, Colchester derivative (double lug) type, dating to AD 43-100. This brooch has a white metal appearance, particularly on the upper surface. The reverse surface has a more coppery pale green colour. As a result of the visual appearance non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis has been conducted on the surface (Department of Scientific Research, British Museum, File No.7651-8, 08/09/2017). The results of this test confirm that the alloy is mostly of copper, with tin and lead. Thus the results confirm that this item does not fulfil the definition …
