Roman cast copper alloy brooch, probably of strip bow form although as it is missing most of the head and the foot other Aucissa varients cannot be completely ruled out. At the head the bow starts to widen before ending in an irregular old break. There is just the start of the central groove which once held the hinged pin. The curled over upper edges of the wings which would have formed a cylinder to hold the spindle for the hinged pin are missing. It is not clear if these curled forward (as on Aucissa types) or backwards, underneath the head (as on local varients of the Aucissa type …
