A fragment of a copper alloy Roman brooch dating to c AD 25-60. All that remains of the brooch is the top of the bow, the wings and the top of the hinge. The brooch is likely to be a Rosette brooch as there appears to be evidence of a spring wrapped round a retaining bar. The fragment comprises wings which are split along the top. Rosette brooches typically have a spring mechanism to fasten them and it may be that the back of the wings have been pressed together to form a cylinder, or possibly the spring was damaged and the wings squeezed round so that the brooch could still be used. …
