The main body is a convex cone that terminates in a pellet in a recessed circular field, around which a dished disc border, now abraded (Total H.: 6.3mm; Dia.: 9.4mm). Just within the raised circumferential rim is a double incised line. On the lower surface is a concavity corresponding with the cone. On the circumferential ridge thus…

A damaged Roman cast copper-alloy Aucissa type brooch (1st century AD). The head and bow are formed of a flat strip. At the head the upper edge is rolled back on itself, towards the front, to create a tube with a central slot (11.4mm wide). The tube would have held the axis bar on which the hinge pin turned in the slot. Part of the axis bar may remain corroded in the tube but the central part and pin are missing. Below the tube the head narrows then widens slightly with semicircular expansions on either edge before narrowing again to the bow. Across the head are a series of probably f…

A corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of the Hod Hill type, Hattatt's Class B (with side knobs/lugs).

A broken and very corroded head fragment from a cast copper-alloy Roman Langton Down brooch (early to mid 1st century AD).

It turns sharply initially through ninety degrees and has been broken after a short distance as a result of old damage. The upper surface of the bow is decorated with a central longitudinal rib flanked by at least two finer ridges to each side - the reeded decoration characteristic of…

A fragment consisting of the head of a copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch of 1st to 2nd century AD date. The head is oval in shape and measures 16.85mm wide by 10.75mm. At the upper edge is a tiny lip that extends outwards by 0.95mm. Beyond this is the remains of an extension of the brooch, 10.05mm wide by 3.2mm and 1.35mm thick, that probably was the start of a head loop. At the lower centre of the trumpet head is the surviving fragment of the bow which seems to have had an oval cross-section (4.0mm by 2.05mm), which extends by approximately 5.9mm. On the reverse of the trumpet head a…

A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman disc brooch (2nd century AD). Its upper face features three raised concentric rings: one encompassing the central section of the of the brooch, one at the border, and one around halfway. The raised concentric rings have delineated three concentric circles. There is some blue enamel in the outer circle. A roughness in the middle circle suggests that this too would have been inlaid with enamel. A smoothness in the inner circle suggests that this would have been plain. The lower surface has a double semicircular perforated pin lug at on…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Aucissa brooch which is missing the catch-plate and lower part of the bow (1st century AD). The head is a continuation of the flat strip of the bow. The upper edge is rolled forward to create a tube which holds the spindle on which the pin hinges. There is a slot in the centre of the head to hold the head of the pin which has now corroded in place. The tube creates wings 15.3mm wide below which the head narrows before widening slightly the the bow. Immediately below the wings is a horizontal panel which appears to have raised decoration on it, now…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy early Roman bow brooch, probably best classified as being a Colchester derivative type. The narrow head is cylindrical formed by rolling forwards, as with a strip-bow type, although the thickness of the bow is closer to the Roman hinge-headed types. Retained within the head is an axis bar, around which the pin's head survives. All that is left of the shaft is a mere vestige; the head has a spur to the rear to aid springing. The bow is rectangular with rounded corners in cross-section. It tapers gradually towards the catch-plate end. After an initial ris…

A corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of the Hod Hill type, Hattatt's Class B (with side knobs/lugs). The brooch is incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin and part of one of the side knobs. The main old damage comes in the form of a twist to the head and the bending downwards of the complete side knob. The sub-rectangular head terminates in an abraded cylinder which would have been formed by rolling the terminal back round on itself (W.: 12.9mm). Below the cylinder the head narrows to a width of 4.7mm at a transverse ridge (W.: 7.1mm). Below this is a moulding …

A cast copper-alloy fragment of a Roman knee brooch dating to the 2nd century or 3rd century AD. This brooch has broken at a mid point on the bow; the upper bow, head, spring mechanism and pin were all lost as a result. In profile the bow was S shaped; the lower 'C' survives. As the upper bow would have been, the leg is a thick strip, rectangular in cross-section. As implied, the leg is concave, curling round on itself at the foot. Around the point of break there is a transverse moulded ridge on both faces. The lowermost is on the rear and marks the start of the moulded upper bow. The…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy zoomorphic plate brooch in the form of an eagle (c. 2nd century AD). The losses are confined to the lower surface on which the pin lug is abraded and the pin lost. The plate is flat by nature, but slightly curved in profile as a result of old damage, with the tail bent downwards somewhat in particular. The bird faces to the right with a pointed beak and a possible shallow indentation for the eye, filled with what appears to be niello. The neck of the bird curves and expands to form a wider body in which six cells are present (these lead down to the b…
