An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch, probably a rosette variant, probably dating to c. AD 25-75.

This wing appears to have been misscast, not reaching far enough to complete the cylinder and with a small strip of copper alloy used to fill the gap. The lower edge of the reverse of the head shows evidence of a fairly wide central …
