NMGW-5E20E5: COIN
A copper alloy contemporary copy of a Roman as of Claudius dating to the period AD 43-54 (Reece Period 2). Minerva reverse type depicting Minerva right, helmeted and draped, hurling javelin and holding round shield. Copying mint of Rome prototype. cf. RIC I, p.128, no.100.

GLO-FD586C: FINGER RING
Roman silver finger ring fragment of Guiraud type 2b. The ring retains only about 50% of the bezel and one shoulder. The bezel would have originally been oval with a recessed oval cell in the centre that would have mounted a glass or stone but which is now missing. Flanking the stone and running along the edge of both sides is a line of stamped annulars that are confined to the bezel. The shoulder is undecorated and narrows to the hoop which is now truncated. This is an addendum to 2012T279 GLO-E86407 and represents the missing second half of the ring.

WMID-241D78: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy colchester derivative Polden Hill brooch (possibly CD PH 4.k type) of Roman date, circa AD 75-160. The brooch is missing its, foot, catchplate, spring and pin. The brooch is T-shaped in plan and the bow head is hump-like, and slightly angular (comma shaped) in profile. The bow is oval in cross section and tapers to a worn transverse break. The sides of the head are decorated with curved mouldings, characteristic of Polden Hill brooches. At the top of the head is a broken rearward facing hook. The wings are semi-cylindrical with perforated flat end caps.The right wing is partially missing its end. At the rear of the head and wings is a rectangular concave slot for the missing spring. The head and bow are decorated with two central incised lines that run parallel to each other and terminating in lenticular bosses. The reverse is undecorated. The brooch is brown in colour with an even surface patina. Abrasion caused by the plough soil has resulted in a loss of detail. Measurements: length 27.8mm, width at the wings 20.2mm, thickness of head 13.1mm, thickness of bow 5.5mm, weight 11.3 grams. A similar brooch has been recorded in Mackreth (2011) page 51, plate 48, no. 12039 (CD PH 4.k).

DUR-C1CECB: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
A complete copper-alloy button and loop 'double-headed' fastener of early Roman date (c.AD 43-200). This double-headed fastener has been cast in one piece and is complete. The head (button) comprises an inverted tear-drop shaped plate with a domed central circular boss defined by a shallow groove. There is a bulbous ridge at the pointed terminus. An integral shank extends down from the reverse of the head and bends at 90 degrees where it widens to a circular plate. This upper plate is decorated by a shallow incised crossbar, above which appears a dotted pattern in the shape of a triangle (which may be intentional decoration rather than pitting). On the reverse of the upper plate, there is a rectangular frame which would have served as the means of attachment (loop). A shallow rectilinear grove runs between the uprights of this frame and terminates before the shank widens. The metal has a dark-green and brown patina. The object is 56.5mm long, 19.5mm wide and 10.1mm thick. Worrell (2008, 341) states, "The function of button-and-loop fasteners remains obscure but they are likely to have served as multi-purpose fasteners for clothing and harness". The double-headed fastener is not classified by Wild (1970), however they identify single-headed ‘tear-drop’ or ‘petal-headed’ fasteners as Class III and suggest most are probably 2nd century in date but may have evolved in the late 1st century. Other tear-drop double-headed examples recorded on the PAS database include BH-D11364, DUR-F3CAF1 and GLO-49F0C4. Edit 19/04/2024: Rebecca Griffiths (FLO North Yorkshire) has noted the Northern distributional bias for this 'double-headed' type of button and loop fastener, writing in the record for YORYM-9B7BCD: "The number of recorded examples of button and loop fasteners has increased significantly through the PAS, and previously unrecorded variants such as this 'double-headed' type have been identified. Few double-headed examples have been published, and only twenty-two have been recorded with the PAS. Almost all of these are from northern counties, and one was found in the Scottish Traprain Law Hoard, which is thought to be a haul looted from Yorkshire by Pictish raiders. The relatively restricted distribution of these objects may reflect an aspect of regional identity specific to the north'. See examples from East Riding of Yorkshire (YORYM-01E717), North Yorkshire at Dunnington (YORYM-024128), Bridge Hewick (SWYOR-42F1E5), Sherburn (WMID-998297) and Ravensworth (NCL-70FEC6) and also South Cave, E Yorks. (YORYM-AC7061), Piercebridge, Durham (NCL-625592), and Waitby, Cumbria (NCL-DFC861)." References: Wild, J.P. (1970) Button-and-loop fasteners in the Roman provinces.

SUR-F9329A: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy enamelled disc brooch of moulded type, dating to the 2nd century AD. The brooch has three concentric ridges of retained metal, with the spaces between possibly once infilled with enamel, although no trace now remains. The circular recessed boss is now empty but may once have held either enamel or a glass setting. The reverse has a hinge lug holding a copper alloy hinge on an iron spindle and catchplate. The brooch has been bent across the mid line and the pin is missing.

WMID-13636F: COIN
A complete Roman Republican silver denarius of Mark Antony (42-30 BC) dating to 31 BC (Reece Period 1). LEG XII reverse type depicting legionary eagle between two standards. Travelling mint. Measurements: diameter 16.6mm, weight 3 grams.

OXON-95C415: BROOCH
A complete copper alloy circular disc brooch dating to the second century AD 200-350. The brooch has been cast in a circular flat disc form with a "bulls eye" design created by three raised annular circular ridges between which enamel has been added. The brooch is rectangular in cross section. Traces of the enamel remain with a turquoise blue enamel filling the outer ring, a reddish brown enamel in the sencond ring and blue enamel in the centre. The reverse is plain and the sprung pin is still attached although it is bent and now points twards 8 oclock instead of 6 o'clock. The catchment hook which would have held the pin in place is still attached to the back of the plate. The brooch has a diameter of 31.9mm, it is 2.7mm thick and it weighs 12.5 grams. An example of a similar style of brooch can be seen in Hattatt (2007, p344) number 1028. There is not an exact parralel in Mackreth (2011,154) however, he indicates that plate brooches with a sprung pin design are a British form appearing in the second century with continental plate brooches having a hinged pin. He illustrates a number of British plate brooches with this annular form on plate 106 in Volume 2. Bayley and Butcher also illustrate similar disc brooches (2004: 132, No. 387) Plate brooches with annular rings and a similar shade of turquoise enamel can be seen on the database OXON-426938 and BUC-EB3D20

OXON-BD826E: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman 2-piece Aesica type brooch dating to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD (c. 43-200 AD). The spring and pin are missing. The brooch is made of two parts, the upper part with the wings being riveted onto a lower flat plate. The short wings at the head of the brooch are 22.11mm wide and made of a cylindrical tube with an open reverse and oval endcaps. The endcaps are pierced by a circular hole through which a copper alloy or iron axis bar and spring would have been threaded. Iron staining on the inside of the tube is visible. The upper section of the bow then projects out to a knob on either side (24.63mm wide) and then back to a narrow knop (5.82mm wide) which passes through the lower portion of the brooch via a copper-alloy rivet. As seen from the reverse, the separate lower section is comprised of a triangular bow 34.37mm in length and 8.30mm at the apex which then widens to small projections either side just below the level of the upper bow (20.63mm wide). The sides then widen to form a fantaill foot approximately the same width as the upper portion of the bow (25.56mm wide). A small catchplate project from the reverse of this lower region of the brooch, It is rectangular in shape and its outer tip is bent over 90 degrees to form a rest for the pin. The brooch is otherwise undecorated. The lower left portion of the plate might have been decorated but is too worn to be certain. On the reverse of the back plate, it is possible to see a circular rivet which attaches the two elements together. The surface of the brooch has a dark brown patina The overall dimensions of the brooch are 10.96mm in length, 22.7mm wide at the upper wings, 9.51mm thick in profile, including the catchplate and it weighs 13.36 grams. This form of brooch is a Roman Aesica Type noted by Hattat who illustrates a similar example (Hattat 2001, p. 310, Fig. 169, nos. 800) and dates these to the 1st century AD. This brooch is also similar to No. 6069 within Mackreth's (2011, p. 32, pl. 29) corpus which he defines as a Aesica type with the Polden Hill spring system, type 3.a, (although these are often noted as having enamelled or decorative features who gives them a 2nd century dating. Similar examples are to be found on the Portable Antiquities OXON-DF7307, OXON-11BE2F, KENT-D3E066 and SOM-304001.

OXON-FAE4C1: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Nauheim Derivative, La Tène III brooch of late Iron Age to Roman (c. AD 25-100) date. The brooch is cast as one piece. The spring is coiled with four loops made of a thick copper alloy wire (2-3mm thickness). One of these coils is broken as it emerges from the reverse, and before it curves upwards and then back towards the reverse of the brooch, where it would have developed into the pin (which is therefore entirely missing). The opposite end of the coiled wire develops into the bow which is a slender elongated rectangle. Between the two sets of coils on either side of the top of the bow, the wire travels under the spring on the reverse of the bow in a small rounded curve. The bow ends in a transverse break, and so the foot and catchplate are also missing. The brooch is decorated with very fine hatching on the coiled part, while the bow has a design consisting of a deeper lengthwise incised line, slightly off-centre, which is intersected with shorter transverse incisions at regular intervals along it. The surface of the brooch has developed a compact, shiny dark green patina, with brown corrosion within the incised decoration. There is a small speck of gilding present at the break in the spring. The brooch has a length of 27.98mm, width 11.34mm and thickness 8.05mm (measured across the spring). It weighs 2.82 grams. The brooch is a La Tène III type brooch which dates to the late 1st century to 2nd century AD. Bayley and Butcher (2004: 145-7) illustrate a similar brooch, no. T9. Mackreth (2011: 11) classifies this type of brooch as Type 3b2, and illustrates similar examples on Plate 8 - notably no. 4302. Hattatt (2000: 290) also illustrates similar examples in Fig. 149.

OXON-ADC656: BROOCH
A worn but mostly complete cast copper alloy Roman Rosette Brooch dating to c.AD 25-60. The brooch is made of a large flat plate with projecting pin and catchplate. The plate has two zones. The first is a circular (29.7mm diameter) main body that has a circular (3.3mm diameter) hole at its centre. The second is a fantail lower zone that is trapezoidal in shape widening from the interface with the circular zone from 12mm wide to c.16.6mm wide at its terminal over its 21.1mm length. On the reverse of the circular zone at its apex is the pin mechanism, made of two projecting D-shaped lugs which are pierced to hold a copper alloy axis bar. The remains of a pin still hinge between these. This has a flattened oval terminal pierced by a hole. It then narrows and becomes circular in cross section before ending in a transverse break. A catchplate projects from the back of the fantail section of the brooch. This is broadly D-shaped albeit with an upper edge that becomes concave and narrows to meet the back of the plate. The front of the plate has a faint wide groove placed down its middle just offset from the location of the catchplate which might be decoration or wear from its use. The brooch is a dark reddish brown colour. The brooch is 52.8mm long, 29.7mm wide, 8.2mm thick in profile and weighs 6.65 grams. The brooch has similar parallels published by Hattatt (1987:309) and in Mackreth's rosette group ROS 9.b brooches with an integral lozenge shaped plate (Mackreth, 2011: Plate 19, nos. 6038). Bayley and Butcher (2004:122) describe an example of a rosette lozenge shaped brooch T341 and indicate that these may have been produced as late as AD 400. Similar examples on the database include HAMP-BDB723, SF-B0284D and HAMP-636A22

DUR-85B2E9: BROOCH
An incomplete, Roman copper-alloy plate brooch of the Roman period dating to the 3rd to 4th centuries (c.AD250-400). The brooch is oval in form. It has a raised outer border and a higher inner border that holds a black glass oval conical 'gemstone'. The flat space between the two raised borders is filled with concentric circle stamped decoration. On the reverse, the remains of the pin and hinge can be seen; the rust-like corrosion on these suggest that they were made of iron. Part of the catch plate can also be seen but the pin is missing.The metal face of the brooch is gilded with most of the gilding still in place. The brooch is in good condition with little wear on the face and with some corrosion and damage, as stated, on the reverse. Length: 22.1 mm; Width: 17.04 mm; Thickness: 15.02 mm; Weight: 6.1 g. Mackreth (2011a, p161; 2011b Pl.107 no 10863) designates this brooch as part of a 'gilded series' of British Plate brooches, specifically Type 3.b1, characterised by the undecorated glass stone, and with one stamped zone round the central cell, and dating from the later 3rd to 4th century. Other examples of this brooch type recorded on the PAS database include LVPL-33BB07, SUR-104E11, and SF-D3AC01, the latter almost identical to that described above References: Mackreth, D.F., 2011a.

OXON-905F6B: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill type dating to the period AD 75-175. The brooch is missing the lower part of its bow and catchplate, its left wing cap, and the spring and pin mechanism. This copper alloy brooch has semi-cylindrical wings with one remaining perforated wing cap containing a small circular knop from the spring. The wings are both plain and undecorated and have a concave reverse which would have held the spring. The spring, and pin are missing. At the centre of the upper edge of the wings/bow head there is a stub from an integral hook which is all that remains of the loop. The bow head is slightly hump-like in profile with a plain raised central ridge moulding. The bow tapers down ending in an old, uneven break. The reverse of the bow is plain and undecorated. The surface of the brooch has a dark brown patina. The brooch measures 21.75mm in long (to the break), it is 24.04mm across the wings, 4.2mm thick and it weighs 4.39 grams.. Mackreth classifies this type of Polden Hill Brooch as Group 1 which has plain wings and a ridge down the upper part of the bow, As the catchplate is missing it is not possible to allocate the brooch to a subgroup (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 1, Plate 44.). Richard Hattatt suggests a date range for this type of brooch of AD. 75 to 175 (Hattatt 2007, 300).

OXON-0E5045: COIN
A very worn Roman copper alloy radiate or nummus of unclear emperor dating to AD 260 to 402. Unclear reverse type, unclear mint. The small size may suggest it was a contemporary copy of a coin. The coin is slightly dished similar to Iron Age forms but this may be from variable corrosion or post depositional damage.

OXON-E5ABE1: MINIATURE OBJECT
A complete cast copper alloy Roman votive axehead. The axehead is sub-rectangular in plan. In profile, it is wedge-shaped, with the 'cutting end' being 0.80mm thick at the edge. The opposite (handle) end has a thickness of 3.56mm at the edge and is truncated by a flat, sub-rectangular face featuring an oval depression at its centre. The thicker end also has a transverse circular perforation all the way through, which sits near the top edge rather than centrally. The whole surface is covered by a shiny, compact dark green-grey patina, but features shallow scratches throughout. The axehead is 13.73mm long, 8.26mm wide and 3.56mm thick. It weighs 1.56 grams. Miniature objects have been interpreted as votives offered at Roman temples and shrines. Although they have often been assumed to be an exclusively Roman phenomenon, it is possible that some examples may be of earlier date. Similar examples on the PAS database include SUR-00BB6A and NMGW-3649F3.

OXON-E5FF91: FINGER RING
An incomplete cast copper alloy late Roman finger ring. This consists of the all-metal bezel, which is flat in profile and oval in plan, measuring c.12.5x9mm. The bezel has the remains of a motif of dots, arranged in a cross shape. The bezel is flat and thinner than the hoop of the finger ring. It may be part of a keeled ring, although this cannot be said for certain as most of the band is missing. The shoulders at either side of the bezel are sub-triangular in plan: they narrow at the point where they join the bezel (c. 7.40mm width), widen again briefly to c. 7.85mm before they start to taper again to a minimum remaining width of 4.80mm (measured on the side with the longest band section remaining). This gives the fragment a trilobate shape overall. The ring has a compact, shiny mid-green patina throughout, although it is a little pitted. It measures 20.48mm long, 9.17mm wide and 1.68mm thick across the bezel. It weighs 1.44 grams. The shape of this finger ring is very similar to an example discovered at Colchester, although this had an inscription across the bezel (Crummy 1983: 49). The ring conforms to Guiraud's Type 2g or 2h - Guiraud proposes 3rd century date for this category. Similar rings have been recorded on the PAS database, for example SF-BEE252, OXON-A4A467 and NMS-84390E. Based on these parallels, this finger ring is most likely to be late Roman, dating from between AD 250-410.

OXON-E7F008: PIN
A complete but distorted copper alloy pin of most likely Roman date, although an Early Medieval date cannot be fully discounted. The head of the pin is plain and globular and c. 4.7mm in diameter. Below the head is a moulded, raised band, however this is not so pronounced as the collars normally seen on Early Medieval examples. The pin is bent at a right angle around 8mm down from the collar; it then continues for c. 17mm before it folds back on itself in a u-bend; finally the tip bends up again at a 90 degree angle towards the head. The whole surface of the pin is covered with a compact red-brown patina, which is overlain by pale green patches in some places. The pin, in its current distorted form, is 22.70mm long, 10.05mm wide. The shaft is 1.65mm thick just below the collar. It weighs 0.99 grams. Similar examples have been recorded from Oxfordshire on the PAS database, dated to the Roman (OXON-B44F39, OXON-8F6153) and Early Medieval (OXON-2AC55D, OXON-588358) periods. While featuring a collar, the head of this item resembles the Roman examples more, which are spherical rather than biconical in the case of the Early Medieval examples - although Haldenby does illustrate an example with a globular head (2012: 8) in Fig. 9. Examples recorded from outside Oxfordshire that resemble this item the most are overwhelmingly given a Roman date, for example LEIC-F79B27, LEIC-F422F5, LANCUM-315658 and NARC-929811. The way in which the shaft of the pin is bent, which appears deliberate, offers further support to a Roman date.

NLM-FA24C1: POLISHER
Stone rubber or polisher. A fine-grained Sandstone chunk, possibly half of an originally cylindrical object, with smooth curved sides and flat top with one groove near its edge. The other two adjacent flat sides are both slightly ridged or grooved in the same direction, with about four ridges or grooves passing across that face which preserves these details best. In its present form, the object sits well in the hand if either of the flat faces are used. The improvised use of rubbers and sharpeners and polishers extends from Prehistory, through the Roman period and into the Early Medieval period, when stones from Continental sources displaced those of more local origin. Suggested date: possibly Roman, 43-410 Length/Diameter: 71.7mm, Height/Thickness: 33.8mm, Weight: 153.65gms

YORYM-389137: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
A complete copper-alloy enamelled button and loop fastener of Roman date, c.AD 43-200. Wild Class VIa variant. The head is formed of a flat rectangular plate. Decoration on this plate consists of red and yellow enamel, set within three parallel square cells with yellow enamel set in the middle cell and red enamel present in the two flanking cells. An integral circular sectioned shank extends at 90 degrees from the underside of the head before splitting in to two arms, and forming a loop. The orientation of the shank results in the head and arms being on different plains. The metal has a dark green patina and is worn. The brooch has a length of 31.43mm, a width of 17.12 and a thickness of 8.83mm. It weighs 5.85g. Roman button and loop fasteners have been classified by Wild (1970) with this example falling into Wild's Class VIa. Parallels within this class are broadly dated to the 2nd century. Downes and Griffiths (2017) state: 'Button and loop fasteners are perhaps best interpreted as multi-purpose fasteners for use with harness equipment as well as clothing. They are thought to be military objects, though the PAS examples tend to be found on rural sites not specifically related to military activity.' Late Iron Age to early Roman period strap fittings, including button and loop fasteners, are becoming increasingly common finds and greater variation in style and decoration are becoming apparent through recording with PAS.

BH-5B5E27: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
An incomplete Roman cast copper-alloy and enamelled button and loop fastener of Wild Class III dating c. AD 50-200. The fastener has a teardrop shaped head that is sub-D-shape in cross-section. On the face are two moulded concentric grooves forming a raised edge and domed centre with recessed apex. At the centre of the apex is a small circular recess filled with the remains of white enamel. The sides of the head are rounded and the underside is flat. Projecting from the non-pointed end of the head is a square-sectioned shank that turns at approximately 90 degrees after a straight section. After the turn the shank transitions to rectangular-sectioned and flares into two broken arms that would have formed a loop. The patina across the object is mid green. The surfaces are worn. The fastener measures 26.6mm long. The head is 16.5mm long, 12.8mm wide and 5.5mm thick. The shank is a maximum of 6.9mm wide and 2.9mm thick. The entire object weighs 5.87 grams. For a similar button and loop fastener recorded on the PAS database see GLO-38BB12.

YORYM-9B7BCD: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
An incomplete copper-alloy double-headed button and loop fastener of Roman date, c.AD 43-200. The head is pointed ovate with a central raised circular boss within a deep circumferential recess. The pointed terminal has a slight raised lenticular moulding which tapers into the point. An integral shank extends down from the reverse of the boss and bends at 90 degrees where it widens into a second head. The orientation of the shank results in the heads being on different plains. The lower head is rectangular with an incised border. One corner is lost to a worn break. The reverse is flat with the broken and worn remains of a rectangular attachment loop. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The button and loop fastener is 46.8mm long, the upper head is 24.9mm x 19.5mm; the lower head is 9.8mm x 15.1mm. It weighs 23.6g. Downes and Griffiths (2017, p.41) state: 'Button and loop fasteners are perhaps best interpreted as multi-purpose fasteners for use with harness equipment as well as clothing. They are thought to be military objects, though the PAS examples tend to be found on rural sites not specifically related to military activity. The number of recorded examples of button and loop fasteners has increased significantly through the PAS, and previously unrecorded variants such as this 'double-headed' type have been identified. Few double-headed examples have been published, and only twenty-two have been recorded with the PAS. Almost all of these are from northern counties, and one was found in the Scottish Traprain Law Hoard, which is thought to be a haul looted from Yorkshire by Pictish raiders. The relatively restricted distribution of these objects may reflect an aspect of regional identity specific to the north'. See examples from East Riding of Yorkshire (YORYM-01E717), North Yorkshire at Dunnington (YORYM-024128), Bridge Hewick (SWYOR-42F1E5), Sherburn (WMID-998297) and Ravensworth (NCL-70FEC6) and also South Cave, E Yorks.

LVPL-BF64EB: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch of the Wirral type dating to c.AD 100-200. The brooch is mostly complete just the headloop, wings and pin and lower bow missing. The brooch presents a stepped head with three horizontal lines, the upper and lower of these lines retain bright orange enamel. On the reverse of the head is the hinge mechanism for the pin. From the base of the front of the head stretches the bow which begins in a slightly rounded arch that then curves inwards and tapers to an incomplete narrowed end. The upper portion of the bow is decorated with three vertical panels intended to hold coloured enamel, forming a chequerboard pattern; the left panel presents three portions of bright orange enamel, the centre has the remains of five and the right two. The enamel between each orange cell is missing. Below the enamelled panels is a worn rounded knop after which the bow begins to taper. The brooch has a worn light green patina. Dimensions: Overall length 43.7mm; width 11.9mm; thickness 6.4mm; weight 15.03g The Wirral brooch is thought to have been derived from the trumpet brooch and dates from the 2nd century AD.

YORYM-C59212: FINGER RING
An incomplete copper-alloy finger ring of Roman date, c.AD 50-300. Guiraud's Type 1b (Henig Type 1). The bezel is round with a sub-rectangular section with a recessed circular cell to the upper surface. The cell holds five circles of blue enamel in a cross formation. One of the circles is largely lost. The remains of an integral hoop extend downward at almost 90 degrees to either end of the reverse of the bezel. The hoop has an ovate section and both sides taper to worn breaks. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The finger ring is 19.1mm long, 18.3mm wide, 6.2mm thick, and weighs 10.1g. Guiraud's Type 1 finger rings are characterised by tall bezels rising straight from the widest part of the hoop, and most are set with gems. Guiraud dates them to 50 BC to 100 AD, and Henig appears to agree, pointing out that those in Britain may have been antiques when they arrived here (2007, 11-12). A similar bezel is recorded as LEIC-4D87D9 in which it states that the use of a decorative intaglio and banded glass is most popular in the 2nd and particularly the 3rd century AD (Henig pers comm). Examples on the PAS database appear to all be set with glass or enamel. Ref: Guiraud, H. 1989. Bagues et anneaux à l'époque romaine en Gaule. Paris: CNRS. Henig, M. 1974.

Measurements: diameter: 27.6 mm; weight: 17.73 g Discussion: The coin has tentatively identified as of Nero. This is on the basis of the surviving silhouette of the right-facing portrait and, in particular, what may be surviving vestiges of a diagnostic feature of his hairstyle. This is the quiff or crest, comprising curls that have been pushed up from the forehead (and described by Suetonius as being shaped into terraces - coma in gradus formata). This is unique to Nero and is a feature of official portraits, including on coins, from the second half of his reign.

LANCUM-6B01EA: FINGER RING
Possible finger ring or even a mount. It is ovoid in shape with a sub-circular central face, from which further material extends out to form the overall. These extensions both have a hole drilled in them, and are angled downwards below the plane of the central face, forming a semicircular section. It is symmetrical in both axes. The semicircular shape fits the finger (a modern male finger) but the two holes either side suggest that this was mounted to something else with a circular shape. The circular central face is divided into five fields - a central sub-square/diamond shape with curved sides, which divides the outside into four lentoid cells. Within these cells are enamel - white in the central 'square' and red in the outer cells. The enamel is somewhat degraded but still very clear. The holes are very accurate and clean but seem to be contemporary. It is probably of Daubney's Group 6 Overall it is 20mm long x 10mm wide across the central face, and weighs 3.71g

SUR-E53D48: BROOCH
An incomplete, bent and extremely corroded cast copper alloy Roman bow brooch of Colchester derivative two piece front-hooked type, dating to the first century AD. The arms are semi-cylindrical and there is a stump for a spring hook at the front of the head. The bow tapers and curves back from the head, with a sub rounded cross section and a ridged spine. The bow tapers to a triangular foot with a stump of a catchplate beneath.

SUR-E4ADE6: BRACELET
A bent fragment of a Roman copper alloy bracelet or armlet, 4mm wide with a flat cross section. The exterior is divided into panels by deeply incised transverse lines, each panel with an oblique line running across it diagonally with a pair of offset notches, one to each side. The angle of the diagonals alternates creating a zig-zag effect. The bracelet appears to have been intentionally cut to respect the edges of the panels at either end and has been bent around, possibly for re-use as a finger ring. There are traces of a white metal coating.

LANCUM-40DAA4: BROOCH
Copper-alloy Roman penannular brooch, missing its pin (c. 25 BC - AD 100). The brooch frame is oval-sectioned with pinched terminals - i.e., both ends are folded back on themselves, and decorated on the upper face by vertical grooves. The object is dark brown in colour. It is 34.63mm in length, 31.48mm in width and 4.73mm in thickness. It weighs 5.23g. Hattatt (Ancient and Romano-British Brooches, 128-9) dates this type of brooch to the 1st century AD, classifying it as type D.

DUR-7DDAA3: BROOCH
Description: A complete silver penannular brooch dating from the late Roman period (c.AD 350-450). The brooch comprises a silver circular sectioned hoop that is sub-oval in plan. It is decorated with un-grouped crosscuts which run around the entire periphery of the brooch. The terminals are coiled upward at right angles to the plane of the brooch, and are undecorated. The pin is attached, simply folded over the circular section of the brooch, and moves freely around the circumference; it too is undecorated. The brooch is in exceptional condition, being mid grey with areas of black tarnish. The exception is where the upper silver surface appears to have lifted or flaked away upon the upper side of the left coiled terminal, leaving a small white area exposed. Discussion: The brooch belongs to Fowler's Type C classification, defined as having "Typical curled terminals at right angles to the plane of the ring and undecorated straight pin." (Hattatt 1983, 132). Further refinement by Mackreth (2011 v1, 207; also see v2 pl.143: 3145 and 3152) identifies the brooch as belonging to Type c2.b, defined by the cross cuts or 'decorated rings'. Precise dating is difficult, as penannular brooches of this type have two distinct date ranges: the Late Iron Age, and the later Roman (and later) periods. However, brooches of this form and of similar size (c.19mm diameter) seem to date from the late Roman into the early medieval period. Further, the early medieval examples cited in Mackreth (ibid) are decorated with 'grouped' cross cuts, in contrast to the brooch described above (and others cited and dated by Mackreth). Thus the most likely date, tentatively suggested, is the late Roman period, mid 4th to early 5th century. In terms of spatial distribution, the brooch would seem to be something of an anomaly, as Mackreth (2011 v1, 209) notes that Type C2.b are rarely found (if ever) north of the Humber-Dee line. A number of similar Type C penannular brooches are recorded on the PAS database (see, for example NLM5389 NLM-03437B NLM-F413B6 NMS-05F11A). However, all were found south of the line detailed above; none are silver. The identification of such a brooch in the Teesside area is thus a significant find. Dimensions: 19.54mm wide; 18.25mm high (thus approx. diameter 19mm); hoop section 2.09mm; pin section1.57mm; pin length 22.3mm; weight 2.2g. Notes: This item qualifies as Treasure under the criteria of the 1996 Treasure Act, being more than 300 years old and containing in excess of 10% precious metal Treasure number: 2018-T429 References: Hattatt, R., 1983.

SUR-E43F44: FINGER RING
A fragment of a copper alloy Roman finger ring, comprising a raised oval bezel, 8.2mm long and 3.3mm high, with a deep setting for a now lost stone or intaglio. The bezel rises from the line of the hoop which has a flat cross section and triangular shoulders which are waisted at the junction to the bezel and which taper into the hoop. The shoulders are decorated with transverse ridges. Cf. Guiraud's (1989) Type 3 (later 2nd to later 3rd century AD) or Henig's (2007, 13) Type VIII (3rd century AD).

SUR-E41FBE: BROOCH
A Roman cast copper alloy brooch of Colchester Derivative Polden Hill type, dating to c. 75-175 AD. The wings are cylindrical, open on the underside and have angled end-caps which are drilled to take the spindle on which the spring and pin is mounted. The front of the brooch has a small projecting lug for the spring chord. The bow has a flat cross section and is angled at 90° to the head. The apex of the bow has three square recessed cells retaining traces of red enamel, set within a moulded rectangular panel. Behind this is a small ridged collar to the lower part of the bow, which tapers to a point with a deep triangular catchplate beneath.

SUSS-E95493: MINIATURE OBJECT
A complete Romano British cast copper alloy miniature (votive) axe dating c. AD 43-410. The sub-trapezoidal head is rectangular in cross section and measures 13.65mm wide at the cutting edge. The blade has a straight long upper edge and slightly concave lower edge to the haft, then straightening to the butt. The blade tapers in thickness from the cutting edge to the butt. The axe has an integrally cast haft with a circular cross-section at the worn rounded base of the handle, flattening towards the head into a rectangular cross section. The apex of the handle projects slightly from the top of the blade. No decoration is apparent on the object, all surfaces being smooth. The axe has a dark green patina. Measurements: length: 36.25mm, width: 29.59mm, thickness (blade edge): 0.90mm, thickness (butt end) 5.58mm, weight 5.70g. Similar objects are recorded on the database, compare: NLM-629192; BUC-411637 and SUSS-001FC5. The latter notes: that miniature objects, along with some plate brooches and significant deposits of low value coinage, are sometimes considered as votive groups. The form of the blade compares with Manning's type 2 (1985, pages 14-15, fig. 3, plate 7 especially B2), which he considers to have been a heavy felling or shaping axe. Related forms come from both Roman and late Iron Age contexts with examples known from excavations at Baldock, Hertfordshire, in a deposit dating from the late 2nd to the early 3rd century AD, while another similar artefact came from a 3rd century ditch fill (see Stead and Rigby, 1986, p. 138, nos. 378 and 379).

OXON-E48DC1: BROOCH
A fragment from a copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative large south-western T-shaped brooch of Hull T139, dating to c.AD 50-150. The brooch is missing its foot and pin. The wings of the brooch are 25.73mm wide and are cylindrical with a maximum diameter of 4.89mm at the bow and narrowing slightly towards their tips. Their front faces are decorated by a double incised line placed close to their outside edges. Both outside edges are open-ended, revealing a hollow core containing a dark brown coloured material that may be remains of solder. The right hand terminal is complete, the left hand one is slightly damaged. The remains of the pin hinge mechanism are present centrally between the wings on the back of the brooch. At the head of the brooch placed just above the bow and on top of the wings is a rectangular projecting plate, 9.28mm wide, decorated with a band consisting of diamonds (3 central complete ones, flanked on either side by a half diamond) with a slight crescent cut in its upper border. This is all that remains of an integral headloop, which has been broken. The bow projects from the head of the brooch with a width of 9.61mm. It narrows down its short surviving length to a transverse break which is 9.28mm wide. The bow is curved in profile and rectangular in cross section. The bow is decorated by three vertical recessed bands, framed by raised borders. The brooch has a very dark green, almost brown, patina. The brooch is 14.82mm long, 25.73mm wide and 9.85mm thick in profile. It weighs 4.36 grams. Very similar brooches are illustrated by Hattat (2000: 304) termed as T-shaped brooches, numbers 1522, 400 and 401 being most similar. Mackreth also illustrates a very similar example as number 2623 (2011: 67). It is perhaps best to highlight that the form and decoration of this brooch appears to be fairly typical of "initial" T-shaped brooches (Bayley & Butcher 2004: 158), a group concentrated in the South West and which appear to have a Flavian era date range (ibid: 159).

NMGW-EF5105: BROOCH
Roman copper alloy bow of Developed T-shaped type of T108 and of 2nd century AD date. The brooch is near-complete, missing the end of the pin (with a length of 45.5mm, a depth of 18.5mm and a weight of 12.4g). The copper alloy pin is hinged within tubular wings (with a width of 23.0mm and a diameter of 4.2mm) probably around an iron axis bar. The ends of the wings have a decorative vertical rib. At the head is a un perforated ‘chain-loop’ (5.6mm high, 6.8mm wide), with a circular cell infilled with a grainy red-brown deposit. The upper bow is of sub-rectangular section and has straight, parallel sides (12.4mm wide and 3.6mm thick). The bow is decorated with enamelled curvilinear cells, defining a central eye, flanked above and below with D-shaped cells and with triangular cells at each corner. Few of the cells now contain visible traces of enamel but one of the D-shaped cells and one of the side cells defining the eye contain remnants of pale blue turquoise enamel. The enamelled cells are within a square panel with a grooved border on the sides and a rib beneath the groove at the base. The mid-bow has a button, probably enhanced with vertical facets but now worn. The leg is of triangular section with straight sides converging towards the foot. The central ridge of the leg was enhanced with notches and the sides have a grooved border. The foot is D-shaped and projects forward. The catch-plate is placed to one side of the rear of the leg and has a grooved border adjacent to the side. The rear of the catch is decorated with pairs of transverse grooves at its top and bottom edges. The surface has a dark-green patina with finishing marks evident on the catch-plate.

An incomplete copper alloy contemporary native copy of an As of Claudius I (AD 41-54). (Reece Period 2). Reverse type depicts Minerva advancing right, /S//C in left and right fields. Diameter: 23.72mm, Weight: 4.2g The coin is missing portions of its outer flan. Many copies of Claudian period asses were struck in Britain in the decades following the invasion of AD 43. This was because there was a serious shortage of small change for the up to 50,000 or so Roman soldiers in the Province to use. It is now reckoned that many of these coins were in fact semi-official, being struck at legionary bases such as Colchester. The "Minerva" As was the most common type copied. Although we date these coins to the reign of Claudius on the Database, they probably continued to be produced until c. AD 64 when Nero initiated a massive issue of base metal coins from the mints of Roman and Lugdunum. 606 for reverse type; cf. BMC p. 275, no. 387.

SUSS-560B0B: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An unidentified fragment, probably of a silver object; (possibly of copper alloy with a high tin content), of suggested Roman date c. AD 43-410. The fragment is flat with one face decorated in cast relief comprising a curved band of cabling and feathering, possibly depicting hair. The reverse is undecorated and slightly convex with a silvery surface with irregular pitting. The edges are irregular, one is clean and straight suggesting it has been cut, the rest are irregular and two appear to be cabled indicating they are original edges. The thickness tapers from 2.35mm to 1.64mm. The fragment resembles a coin fragment but the tapering thickness and crude reverse suggest this is unlikely. Dimensions: length: 11.10mm, width: 10.09mm, thickness: 2.35mm, weight: 0.93g.

DOR-51253D: BROOCH
The upper part of a cast copper alloy openwork plate brooch of composite geometric shape dating to AD 100 - 225. The brooch is flat and has a semi-circular upper part with a raised horizontal strip across the middle and two stubs, one longer than the other, of a further shape below the strip. There is a complete circular head loop at the top of the semi-circular section. The front of the semi-circular part is recessed for enamel, although no enamel now survives. The horizontal strip has raised upper, middle and lower edges, presumably for enamel to be used as an infill. At each end of the strip and stepped back in thickness are decorated circular tabs. On the lower side of the strip, just stepped in from either end are worn stubs, the length of one suggesting it was part of a triangular lower section. The back is plain with a raised square at the top, below the head loop with one raised lug rising from it at 90 degrees, this lug has a flat top, rounded sides and a circular hole through it. The pin is intact as is the hinge and it still works.The brooch has a light green patina colour.Plate brooches of elaborate form such as this usually date to the second and early third centuries (100-225 AD). Hattatt (2000:354) illustrates a brooch with a similar semi-circular upper part but solid lower part, no.1126. He also illustrates other examples with solid upper semi-circles and openwork lower parts (no.1607 and 1127). A similar brooch is SOM-A6D394. Date: Roman Length: 24.23 mm Width: 23.8 mm Thickness: 2.36 mm Weight: 4.65 g Class: composite geometric

LVPL-84B7B2: BROOCH
An almost complete copper alloy Roman brooch of the Wirral type dating to c.AD 100-200. The brooch is almost complete, missing just the hinge mechanism and pin. It presents a stepped head the top of which connects to the headloop. On the reverse of the head is the remains of the hinge mechanism which has a small section of the pin remaining emerging from each side out of two rivet holes. From the base of the head stretches the bow which begins in a slightly rounded arch that then curves inwards and tapers towards a narrowed foot. The upper portion of the bow is decorated with three vertical panels which were originally filled with cells of enamel, only two of these panels remain, a blue cell remains in the central panel and an orange cell to the right of it. Beneath is a rounded knop and a further rounded knop at the terminal of the bow. The reverse of the bow retains the catch plate which hooks to the left. The brooch has a matte brown patina. Dimensions: Length 49.7mm; width 10.4mm; weight 10.28g. The Wirral brooch is thought to have been derived from the trumpet brooch and dates from the 2nd century AD. This type of brooch is known as the Wirral type since the earliest discovery of this type was from the Wirral and it also now thought that this is where the main (if not only) production site was based (Philpott; 1999; 275). The main distribution of this type of brooch is the Wirral, Cheshire, North Shropshire and North Wales; with some outliers in the Vale of Glamorgan (Wales) and the North East.

LVPL-14D760: COIN
A copper-alloy nummus or radiate dating to 260-402AD. Both faces are heavily worn making the ruler, reverse and mint uncertain. Dimensions: Diameter 13.1 mm, Weight 1.46g.

WILT-E941D8: KEY (LOCKING)
A probable Roman copper alloy openwork key handle, probably dating to c. AD 43-410. The handle is cast into a three-dimensional representation of two confronted dolphins, their back bowed and tails intertwining; curving back around so that their lobed terminals touch the dolphin's back. Between their jaws the dolphins support a fluted vessel, probably a krater, which contains a sub-circular socket filled with iron corrosion; potentially the stem of a key. Dimensions: Length 39.4mm; width 32.8mm; thickness 11.0mm; weight 30.16g. Composite Roman keys with elaborate copper-alloy handles and iron stems are relatively common metal-detected finds, and large numbers are recorded on this database; although less typical, more elaborately moulded examples are also known, such as a handle in the form of a lion's head, found at Fishbourne (Cunliffe 1971: 121, no. 144). A similar object, also identified as a Roman key and incorperating confronted dolphins, is recorded on this database at NMS-5B4425.

NMS-F56DAE: COIN
Description: A cut half of a gold semissis of Constantius II (AD 323-361), dating to the period c. AD 340-350 (Reece period 18). Reverse type GAVDIVM POPVLI ROMANI, depicting the legend SIC/V/SIC/X within a wreath. Mint of Arles. The coin has been deliberately cut across the centre, with a single cut creating a neat vertical edge with transverse striations. Dimensions: Length along cut edge 16mm. Width perpendicular to cut edge 8mm. Weight 1.14g. Discussion: A semissis of this type is listed in RIC VIII, p. 207, no. 61, for Constans, with a solidus in the same series for Constantius II (RIC 59). The weight of this example suggests a semissis rather than solidus, which would be unlisted in RIC. There are a few known examples of cut gold late Roman coins on the PAS database, such as NARC-B63118 (2017T841) and HAMP-56B91A (2017T791). Both of these are irregularly cut fragments of less than a quarter of the coin. Cut silver Roman coins are unsurprisingly far more common, and include the neat halves of SF-50F6AD, BH-FB8884, SF-2E0E63 and LVPL-C6E3B5, as well as smaller fragments such as LON-8118D4 or SF-D6195E. It is not certain why coins were cut in this way. A precise half, such as this example, might be thought of as a piece of bullion with the convenient weight of exactly half a semissis (but without the conventional complete imperial bust which guarantees the value of a coin as currency).. A function as small change seems to have been possible for some very early Roman copper-alloy coins in Gaul (Kiernan 2001, 30) but seems less appropriate for this very valuable coin. A function as friendship tokens has also been suggested for the neatly halved coins (Buttrey 1972, 31-32; quoted in Kiernan 2001, 31) A ritual function has been suggested for both the neatly halved and the smaller fragments, which look more like defaced or mutilated objects. Before the advent of the PAS, they were found primarily at ritual or religious sites, mainly in the south of England, together with other deliberately bent or broken objects (Kiernan 2001, 25-28). Date: The coin was issued c. 340-350 AD. It may have been cut for ritual reasons shortly afterwards, or converted to bullion after the end of Roman rule in Britain, when a monetary economy was no longer in operation.

NMS-84CB7C: FURNITURE FITTING
Roman copper alloy decorative furniture stud, a thin and flat disc with the remains of an iron shank embedded in an integral truncated conical projection in the centre of the underside. On the top face four concentric grooves enclose a central circular rib surrounding a hole in which the upper end of the iron shank is visible. Very close to NMS-53F5CC and comparable with NMS-83D484, a smaller example with two grooves. Small amounts have been lost from the edge. Extant diameter 21mm. Length or thickness 7.8mm, of which the disc comprises only 1.2mm. Mid 1st - 4th century.

SWYOR-2E48D1: TOILET ARTICLE
An incomplete copper alloy object, possibly a Roman nail cleaner with raised collars on the flat neck, dating from about AD 43 - 200. The main part of the blade is missing. The neck has two raised transverse collars that go completely around the piece. The neck widens slightly into a flat circular suspension loop, set in the same plane as the neck as probably of the missing blade. The piece has a dark green patina. Length: 20.28mm Width: 11.39mm Thickness: 2.64mm Weight: 1.60g A complete example from the database is LVPL-B832FC, and compare also examples in Crummy (1983). Because the object is so incomplete, it is possible it could have a different function, such as a casket key of Medieval date.

NCL-620F64: TWEEZERS
An incomplete copper alloy arm from a pair Roman or Early Medieval tweezers, c. 43-700 AD. Made from a single sheet of copper alloy, the artefact comprises a splayed triangular plate tapering upwards into an integral arm which has been broken. Very faint transverse line decoration is visible at the junction between the plate and the arm. The metal has a mid-green and brown patina and is very worn with large patches of visible corrosion. Tweezers of similar form and of Roman date are illustrated in Crummy (1983, p 58-59; fig. 63). However similar Early Medieval examples are published in Macgregor and Bolick, Nos. 38.10, 38.14, 38.16, 38.19 (1993, p 224).See also YORYM-F23346; SF-3E2EA5 and NMS-B137BB. According to some PAS entries the lack of stamped ornament indicates a Roman date is more likely. Crummy (1983, p59-59) indicates that there is little clear development throughout the Roman period in decoration or style. Tweezers were often part of toilet sets suspended from rings and worn on the person which might account for their occasional loss. Length: 25.87 mm Width: 11.06 mm Thickness: 1.49 mm Weight: 1.16 g References: Crummy, N., 1983. Colchester archaeological report 2: the Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9.

LIN-E17453: SPATULA
An incomplete cast copper-alloy anthropomorphic handle from a spatula for the spreading of wax on a writing tablet, representing the Goddess Minerva in Romano-British Provincial style dating from the 1st to the 3rd century AD. This object is anthropomorphic and takes the form of a stylised bust of Minerva. The head with a Corinthian-style helmet is represented three-dimensionally. The helmet is decorated with linear grooves and it has a circular perforation at the uppermost part. The facial features include recessed oval eyes separated by a stylised nose and the mouth is made of a transverse groove and ridges. The head has combed-back hair. The head extends to a short neck and then to a body with sloping shoulders that end at the upper arm and a short straight-sided torso, below is a rectangular copper alloy tab. The torso has incised decoration consisting of a double row of lines forming a triangle and two diagonal lines where the torso meets the tab. The back of the torso is very worn and corroded, the decoration is faint and appears to consist of a series of lines radiating from the shoulders to a central point at the knape of the back. The front and back of the tab carry the same design: with two transverse grooves at the uppermost, below the shaft has been filed to create a raised lozenge, followed by three further transverse grooves in a row. The lower truncated has a narrow rectangular slot now filled with (?iron) corrosion. The object is a medium green colour with some pitting and bright green patches. The spatula is 44.00 mm long, 10.37 mm wide and weighs 9.80g Discussion (after OXON-E24016) Numerous examples of such figural spatula handles have been recorded on this database to date, many of these have been discussed by Worrell (2008, 356-357). Their style varies, as do those illustrated by Feugère (1985), attributable to different workshops copying the overall prototype. This corresponds to Feugère's (2004) type A5 and Eckardt's (2014) type B. Feugère (2004,33) notes that the dating for these objects is a work in progress, though it is clear that each type was not necessarily used at the same time. The symbol of Minerva, Goddess of wisdom, is appropriate for such objects and thus more securely associate them with writing tools rather than other object types, such as a knife terminal. Eckardt (2014, 206) describes how Minerva wax spatula handles were used for elite display. Feugère also notes that it is likely that a British workshop existed to cater to the demand in the province (2004. 33), which may explain the slightly more stylised look of many British examples. This is the first example from North Lincolnshire.

NARC-ECA9F4: BRACELET
A complete copper-alloy bracelet of Roman date (AD 250-410). The bracelet is composed of a recurved strip, which is broadly rectangular and D-shape in cross-section. From the squared terminal the side of the strip gradually narrow to an old worn transverse break. Most of the strip is plain. The larger terminal is decorated with four transverse grooves of varying width and depth. The underside is relatively flat and undecorated. Length: 55.13mm, Width: 63.87mm, Thickness: 2.92mm, Weight: 10.0g All surfaces have a mottled light to mid brown patination and are heavily worn and abraded.

NMS-598C53: SPOON
Fragment of a Roman copper-alloy spoon of Crummy Type 3, consisting of a short length of the stem and a tiny fragment of the bowl, connected at an offset junction. The stem is rectangular, nearly square, in cross-section. When considered from the side, with the concave face of the bowl facing upwards, the stem can be said to taper gently in thickness and expand abruptly in width as it develops into the junction. On the top there is step-up of about a millimetre, and then another, followed by a low rectangular slot or notch, and then arguably two step-downs, now very rounded by wear. At the bottom, the junction projects at nearly a right-angle to the stem then curves forward to become parallel with it again. The fragment of the bowl springs from this edge, but too little of it survives to attempt a description. Above the bowl, on the forward facing edge of the junction, there is another rectangular slot, deeper than the first. The top of the stem is decorated with six transverse notches, arranged in three pairs, cut, filed or perhaps moulded into the corner edges (the arises between the top and side faces), each leaving a triangular facet on either side. There is also a linear transverse groove between two of these pairs. The side faces are each marked with a vertical groove, located just after the stem’s expansion into the junction. Similar to NMS-DB6EC2, disregarding the twisted handle and white-metal coating. Probably 3rd or 4th century AD. Length: 39.1mm. Width: 12.3mm. Thickness: 3.3mm. Weight: 3.1g

SUSS-E8A3A9: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy hinged double lugged trumpet brooch, dating between AD 80-200. The head of the brooch is ovate, with two integral pierced semi circular lugs on the reverse to accommodate an axis bar. Between both pierced lugs sits an intact copper alloy spring of four coils with a semi-circular loop set behind the spring, hanging toward the foot. The coils are covered in iron corrosion suggesting the axis bar may be iron. One coil extends into an incomplete circular-sectioned pin which tapers towards a worn break near the catchplate. The ovate head is surmounted by the remains of a circular integral headloop, consisting of two projecting knops ending in worn breaks. The bow is cast with moulded decoration, the upper section being broadly triangular in plan with a slightly stepped section where it meets the trapezoidal plate below the headloop. The diagonal stepped edge extends at the apex into a central raised double linear moulding running lengthways down the upper bow; at the apex of the curve, each line diverges at 90°'s to the bow edge dividing the upper bow into two lateral trumpet shaped panels. The central section of the bow features two protruding moulded semi-circular lipped lobes, each with a transverse groove, the lower lobe being more prominent than the upper. The lower section of the bow is triangular in plan with a transverse moulded rib with central groove at the top, mirroring the lobes, from which extends a central raised liner moulding runnning to the foot. On each edge is a raised moulded linear border. The lower bow terminates in a transverse collar above a worn break forming a rounded knop. The foot knob is missing. On the reverse of the lower section of the bow is the triangular solid catchplate, the turnover being partially lost to a worn break. The brooch is dark green in colour, with patches of brown iron corrosion around the spring. Dimensions: length: 52.55mm, width: 14.44mm, thickness (at bow): 5.52mm, thickness (at catchplate): 9.10mm, weight: 11.49g This type of brooch can be seen illustrated in Mackreth (2011) pp86 no. 5320. as type TR 2.1, and in Bayley and Butcher (2004) pp 93, no: 219 which is classified as Group B with central moulding and flat back, a headloop and the spring held on a bar between two lugs.

CORN-6048B0: BROOCH
Incomplete cast copper alloy Roman hinged T-shaped brooch with ribbed and knurled cylindrical crossbar with the remains of the hinge in the centre of the back of the head. The head of the bow has a central crest that is semi-circular in profile and protrudes above the arch of the bow and the crossbar. Where the head meets the crossbar, there is a border of moulded rectangular ribs defined by oblique lines on either side which taper to meet at a point just in front of the hinge. The sides of the bow are also ribbed with oblique incised lines on either side of a central knurled band of oblique rhomboids, running down the length of the bow in a single vertical strand. The spindle is still intact in the tubular crossbar, which would have attached to the loop of the hinge. The hinge would have originally extended into the wire pin, now missing, which would have been held in the catchplate at the bottom of the foot, both also missing. Hattatt (2000) illustrates a similar T-shaped brooch on page 302, No.395, which is dated from the 1st to the 2nd century AD. Butcher (2004) illustrates a similar T-shaped brooch from Nornour, on the Isles of Scilly, on page 21, Fig.8, No.307, found in the vicinity of coins dating from the late 1st century to the early 2nd century AD. Bayley and Butcher (2004) illustrate a T-shaped brooch with similar knurled and ribbed decoration on page 94, Fig.74, No.223, which is dated from the second half of the 1st century AD, and a developed south-western T-shaped brooch on page 166, Fig.138, No.T120, which is dated from the first half of the 2nd century AD. Similar examples from Cornwall can be seen at: Record ID: CORN-11178A - ROMAN brooch (finds.org.uk), Record ID: CORN-E69D3E - ROMAN brooch (finds.org.uk), and Record ID: CORN-1054EE - ROMAN brooch (finds.org.uk).

SUSS-747A9B: BEAD
A worn copper alloy bead of suggested Roman date c. AD43-410. The bead is circular in plan and has a median raised rib running around the circumference. The edges of the perforation are worn and damaged, with some areas of deep radial striations, possible cut by the string/thread the beads were suspended on. The surface has a glossy mid brown surface. Measurements: outer diameter: 11.29mm; internal diameter: 4.30mm; thickness: 6.28mm and weight: 1.54g. Beads are very difficult to date without context, but compare: SF-D0599D and HAMP-24CAB3; copper alloy Roman examples with a similar raised median rib. Most of the finds from the immediate area of the discovery are Roman and Medieval.

SOM-F7D946: BROOCH
A Roman copper-alloy devolved Large south-western T-shaped brooch of Hull T138 dating to the late first to second century AD, incomplete in so far as it is missing the pin and part of the headloop. The head has two short cylindrical wings, 33.9mm wide, to hold the axis bar for the hinged pin. Between the wings is a slot in which the pin would have sat. The left wing has one groove running around it where the bow joins the crossbar, while the right wing has no decoration. Both ends of the wings are slightly abraded. Emerging from the centre of the head is a large fixed headloop which has been broken through. The bow generally has a D-shaped cross-section with a flat back. The bow narrows and thins gradually but consistently towards the leg. It is characterised on its upper surface by a deep central longitudinal groove of V-shaped cross-section; this is echoed by a grooved recess on the back. The leg is continuous with the bow though bent up at the foot. A break at the foot has resulted in the loss of any footknob that there might have been. On the back of the foot the catchplate is missing. The brooch survives well with a brown patina. Bayley and Butler (2004, 167) suggest this type is mainly South Western in distribution and dates to the later first - early 2nd century AD (c. 75-175). They illustrate a similar example, T138, (ibid, 168) with a similar groove but not the bosses. The type is also discussed by Mackreth (2011, 98) for whom it is a Colchester derivative of type 16.a, and 'clearly a Somerset product'. The brooch is 89.76mm long, 33.9mm wide at the wings, 11mm wide at the bow, 4.1mm thick at the bow, and weighs 25.12g.

OXON-3C09BE: NAIL CLEANER
An incomplete copper-alloy suspension loop, probably from a Roman nail-cleaner dating to the period AD 43-300. The object consists of a cast integral circular loop with a narrow waisted-section below, followed by an expanded, flattened, rectangular section, which becomes narrower at its lower end. The surface and break are all corroded and well worn. One surface is decorated on the narrow rectangular section but a series of lightly incised wavy lines within an outer sub-rectangular border. The reverse of the object is plain. The object measures: 24.32mm in length, 11.75mm in width, 3.49mm thickness and weighs 3.71 grams. The suspension loo measures 8.01mm x 6.11mm. Without the blade the object cannot be closely classified, although it is broadly similar to the upper section of a Roman nail cleaner from Oxfordshire (OXON-A1C6B9) and is cast so could possibly belong to Crummy's (1983, 58) Type 1b to 3, suggesting a mid-1st to late 3rd century AD date. Similar examples can be found on the database: SF-FF9C5B, BUC-3C9F74, BH-836F46, LIN-019B43 and YORYM-60A95E.

WMID-102FA6: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy T-shaped 'Wroxeter' type brooch, of Roman dating (1st to 2nd Centuries AD). Approximately 50% of the brooch is present, consisting of part of the bow, and part of the head plate and spring. The foot and the pin are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The head plate is incomplete and just consisting of a small vertical plate. The reverse of the head plate is hollow and has an integral vertical lug on each side, each having a central circular perforation. The lugs support an iron axis bar around which a spring is curled, forming two coils. The pin is missing. The bow protrudes from the centre of the bow head and is sub rectangular in section and curved in profile. The upper section of the bows' outer face is decorated with two parallel vertical cells each filled with traces of enamel (orange and probable white / green). At the mid point of the bow, below the cells, there is decorative moulding consisting of ribs with narrowing between. The bow, below the moulding, tapers to a broken edge. The reverse of the bow is plain and undecorated. The top of the catch plate is present just above the break at the base of the bow. The brooch measures 26.77 mm in length, 10.35 mm wide and 10.49 mm thick. It weighs 3.8 g. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. These types of brooch can be considered to be a variation of the 'T' shaped brooch. Hattatt (2000. p. 331, fig 190) illustrates a similar brooch, No. 442 and dates these type of brooches to the 1st to 2nd centuries. However, Bayley and Butcher (2004, p. 169) illustrate similar brooches, the 'Wroxeter' and 'Prestatyn' type brooches and separate these from the 'T' shaped examples. The recorded example is very similar to the 'Wroxeter' example and these date to late 1st century to the 2nd century (Bayley and Butcher: p. 169). These type of brooches are found commonly in North Wales and the Midlands (ibid). Reference: Bayley, J. & Butcher, S. 2004.

WAW-E73D3B: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch of Prestatyn type. Due to the rearward facing hook and the circular pierced plates on the wings, with decorated upper bow humped over a broad crossbar,sprung in the Polden manner. The brooch is missing most of the catch plate, foot, spring and pin. The head and most of the bow have survived. The bow has a sub rectangular cross-section, somewhat akin to the brooch 1649 on plate 54 (Mackreth 2011 pg 57, plate 54). The head is 11.52mm long, 22.55mm wide, and 13.55mm thick. The bow emerges from the back of the head, and curves downwards to the foot. It starts off 7.51mm wide and 4.27mm thick, tapering to 4.92mm wide and 3.58mm thick before the catch plate begins. Most of the catch plate is missing, but what remains is 5.05mm wide and 5.36mm thick before the break. The catch plate would have been made from a copper alloy sheet that curved over. The brooch is decorated with two recessed parallel grooves around 1.25mm wide running along the length of the brooch, from the head seemingly to the foot. There are traces of light blue or cyan enamel in the recesses.

LEIC-D3C2AE: BROOCH
An almost complete Roman cast copper alloy brooch of headstud type dating to c.AD 75-200. The brooch consists of a hinged pin attached to short wings on either side, and a curved bow with a column like foot and catch plate. The outer faces of the wings are decorated with three transverse grooves. To the reverse is a narrow cylinder with a slot in the centre which holds a hinged pin and axis bar. The pin remains articulated. At the top of the head the stub of an incomplete cast circular loop extends upwards. Below this, the upper bow is decorated with an integrally cast ovoid headstud with a central circular cell, surrounded by a ring cell, both now empty. The rest of the bow is decorated on the apex of the outer face with a lattice panel of circular ring and dot shaped cells. Below the panel is a doubled waisted section with a widened collar. A rounded foot with flat base then terminates the bow. On the reverse the sub-triangular catchplate has been retained and is almost complete. There is a small horizontal break in one side of the upper part of the bow but this does not affect the overall structure. There are no traces of enamel, suggesting that the bow has either lost its enamel or was not enamelled when made. This brooch has similarities to Mackreth's Headstud 5.a (Mackreth 2011, vol 2. pl.72 p,75 and pl.73 p.76) Length: 40.5 mm Width: 17.4 mm Thickness: 3 mm Weight: 7.52 g

The Dimensions: length:17.76mm; width: 11.15mm; thickness: 5.43mm; weight 0.79g Allason-Jones (1996:28) writes "The most common beaded armlet at York and elsewhere is made up of flat elliptical beads with one edge more markedly curved than the other and decorated with a deeply cut motif. The beads divide into two types: those with a series of raised ovals(cf. Colchester: Crummy 1983, fig. 37, no 1498; Wroxeter: unpubl.), and those with either S on Z motif beads are more common in both Britain (see Allason-Jones and Miket 1984, no 7.28 for references) and Germany (Hagen 1937, C.38, C.10.3), and the type is one of the rare uses of jet and shale in France (Deyber 1989)."

DUR-36CCB9: VESSEL
An assemblage of five sherds of Roman greyware, dating from the Roman period 43 - 410 AD. Total weight: 48g. The assemblage comprises one rim sherds and four body sherds. The fabric is a mid grey colour throughout the thickness. It is of fine texture with moderate small white and grey inclusions and some larger black inclusions, probably fine quartz or sand. Individual features: 1a is a rim sherd representing about 8% of the rim from a jar of about 18cm diameter. It is wheel-made, and has a flat slightly thickened rim. It is 10mm thick at the rim and about 7mm thick in the body. The interior surface is rough having a surface similar to medium grade sandpaper. The external wall surface has patches of a red-brown material which may be a slip or a paint. 1b - 2b are all small body sherds and are of finer fabric with fewer and smaller inclusions than 1a. 1b (6.9mm thick) and 2a (8.4 - 7.9mm thick) have a moderately rough surface with a patch of a smooth dark brown material, possibly a slip or paint and these are possibly part of the same pot, from their appearance. 1c is 8.4mm thick and slightly smoother and finer than the othe pieces. 2b is similar.

DUR-364314: VESSEL
An assemblage of 11 sherds of black burnished ware, of the late Iron Age to Roman period, dating circa 100 BCE - 410 AD. The sherds comprise five rims, one base and five body sherds. The fabric is dark grey - black inside with black surfaces. There are abundant inclusions, mostly white, of irregular to sharp shape and varying size and they appear at the surface of the ceramic in addition to within the fabric. The quality of the fabric at the breaks is rough with voids. These vessels are probably wheel-made from the appearance of grooves and tracks in the surfaces. Total weight 269g. 1a is a rim (about 10%) and base sherd from a 53mm high 22cm diameter shallow dish. The rim is turned out and the sides are gently waisted from beneath the rim to the base. The base is 10.5mm thick and the wall thickness varies from 7mm at the top to 12 mm at the base. 1b is about 5% of a 25mm wide rim from a 24cm diameter vessel, probably a jar. Very little of the wall survives but the angle between the wall and the rim shows that the wall bowed out beneath the rim. A groove runs around the inside of the rim but there are no further marks or decoration. 1c is similar to 1b with an additional groove around the exterior wall, just beneath the rim. The edge of the rim is missing. 2a is less than 5% of a 17cm diameter plain rounded rim, which is 13.6mm thick at the top of the rim. Externally, the wall is straight or very slightly waisted. The internal profile turns inward at the opposite end suggests that this is immediately adjacent the base of the pot, so that this may be a sherd from a shallow dish. 2b is a small (<5%) section of a 17cm diameter everted rim, similar in shape and style to 1b and 1c. A groove is present on the internal surface inside the rim. 2c is a base sherd about 6.1mm thick towards the centre of the base and with a wall thickness of about 8mm adjacent the base. The wall angles outward from the base, which is about 10cm in diameter. 3a - 4b are all body sherds. 3a is 9.3mm thick and has one very flat surface, suggesting that it may have formed part of a vessel base. 3b is 9.4mm thick and has a black internal surface and an external surface which is a light grey colour with a red-brown material over about 60% of the surface area. This is possibly a slip or paint of some type. 3c is a small body sherd having the same colouration as 3b. 4a has no discernible finished surface and is just a fragment. 4b is 6.2mm thick and is black on the interior and external surfaces, with a dark grey fabric.

DUR-348ACD: VESSEL
An assemblage of 6 sherds of Roman greyware, dating from the Roman period 43 - 410 AD. Total weight: 224g. The assemblage comprises 2 rim sherds (of which one also has a base), one base sherd and three body sherds. The fabric is a mid grey colour throughout the thickness. It is of fine texture with sparse small white inclusions and some larger black inclusions, probably fine quartz or sand. The interior and exterior surfaces are smooth but not burnished and do not have decoration. Individual features: 1a is a rim sherd representing about 15% of the rim from a jar of about 28cm diameter. It is wheel-made, has an everted rim and a gently curved body profile. 1b is a rim and base sherd from a shallow dish 45mm in height and about 17cm diameter. The base is 8.6mm thick at the edge. None of the base survives except at the extreme edge. It is wheel-made with a rounded rim and straight sides. 1c is a base sherd from a wheel-made vessel about 14cm diameter. The base is 11.5 mm thick at the wall and 7.4mm thick 50mm from the external surface of the wall. The internal and external surfaces are darker than the fabric interior. 2a and 2b are body sherds from fine, probably wheel-made vessels. 2a (9mm thick) has a rough, exterior surface with the appearance of sand. 2b is of a slightly darker grey with smooth sirfaces and of a thickness varying from 5.9 to 8.7mm. 2c, also wheel-made, is of very varying thickness (9.4 - 12.3mm). This gives the appearance of having been more roughly made, but is probably due to normal variations in fabrication technique. The external surface has patches of a smooth black finish.

LON-E04B53: BEAD
A complete Roman faience melon bead dating to the period c. AD 50 - 200. The bead is light blue in colour and has eighteen vertical grooves on the outer surface. The bead has a perforation with a diameter of 9.13mm. The interior surface exhibits a series of concentric grooves. Dimensions: diameter: 21.09mm; height: 13.77mm; weight: 4.47g Crummy (1995:30) writes "These beads are found in 1st- and 2nd-century contexts (Guido 1978, 100) and seem, on the evidence from our catalogue, to have been introduced into this country at the conquest. There is some slight indication that the smaller the bead the earlier it is. Most are made of turquoise frit, which often decays to white." Worrell (2015) states that faience melon beads "...are common finds on most Roman sites, although normally their occurrence is restricted to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. They are unknown in the Late Iron Age period. A description is provided in Guido (1978, 100, types 21 and 22) and also in Crummy (1983, fig. 32.520-1)."

SWYOR-6F2089: BEAD
A complete bead made from translucent dark blue glass, dating to the Roman period around AD 50-200. The bead is circular in plan with a central hole (annular). It has a flat top and bottom. The inner surface is smooth and the outer surface is adorned with regular longitudinal (transverse) ridges and grooves (gadroons) providing a distinctive ridged appearance. It may be cassified as a "melon" bead, but it is less spherical than most examples. Measurements are; diameter 12.6mm, thickness 6.4mm and weight 0.94g. Melon beads are typical of the early Roman period, and are often found in museums as they are large and robust (Johns, p.101). Crummy (1981) suggests that from Colchester excavation evidence melon beads were most likely introduced into Britain after the AD 43 conquest. It is also suggested that larger beads are of a later date than smaller examples, see Crummy p. 31-32, Fig 32 no.524. Similar examples have also been recorded as KENT-0F91BC, SWYOR-114861, DENO-943191.

LEIC-D25FBF: BRACELET
An incomplete copper alloy late post-Roman strip bracelet dating to c. AD 200-450. The object consists of a gently curved rectangular strip of copper alloy with a rectangular cross-section. The strip has a possible terminal end and is broken at the other end. The front has been decorated with a series of stamped or incised motifs. From left to right, the end panel is approximately 10mm long and is decorated with a very feint cup and ring motif. This is separated from the main section by two deep incised transverse grooves across the width of the object. The remaining central section to the break is approximately 25mm in length and is decorated with a feathered motif of multiple diagonally incised lines, mirrored on either side of an incised lateral line. The back is plain and undecorated. An example of the feathered panel decoration is illustrated in Crummy (1983) p.46, no.1729. Other similar examples on the PAS include LVPL-95CCC7, HAMP-2A1C26 and BERK-99D1E7. Length: 39.1 mm Width: 6.7 mm Thickness: 2.1 mm Weight: 3.57 g

ESS-ABBFC0: BRACELET
An incomplete copper alloy armlet or bracelet (possibly Crummy Type A) of Roman date (c.43-100). Description: The bracelet is penannular in plan, and rectangular in cross-section with worn edges, and with one complete, and one worn terminal. The interior surface is flat and undecorated while the exterior has moulded decoration in the form of three wide grooves at running longitudinally along the centre of the band, creating two rectangular ridges in the centre, and two wider ones at the edges. One end of the bracelet has a rough break, whilst the other has a flat, undecorated surface with rounded corners. The armlet is bent into a curve, and has an even medium green patina with a heavily pitted surface. Measurements: Length: 65.7mm; Width: 14.9mm; Thickness; 1.9mm; Weight: 20.03g Discussion: Armleta with similar banding can be seen in Crummy (1983) dating to c.43-55. Crummy (2005) has since argued that armlets of this type (at least 11mm wide) with moulded, ridged decoration, some of which are punched or incised, and transverse decoration at the terminals, are amillae which were given as military awards at the time of the Roman conquest of Britain (first half of the first century AD). She explains that rural sites which produce armillae are likely to be the farmsteads of retired soldiers, and where stratified examples appear in contexts dated to after Claudio-Neronian period, these may represent heirlooms. More recent research (Wood, forthcoming) disputes the military connection, with distribution patterns suggesting a possible centre of manufacture in the Hertfordshire-Cambridgeshire border region. Crummy's Type A bracelets, which date to the mid first century are decorated with corded banding. It is possibly that the bracelet recorded here is one of this type, with the decoration having worn down. Wide cuff bracelets were common throughout the Roman period however.

ESS-010EB7: BRACELET
An incomplete copper-alloy armlet or bracelet (Crummy 1983, Type A) of Roman date (c.43-100). Description: The bracelet is penannular in plan, although now bent slightly, and rectangular in cross-section widening and thickening at the complete terminal. The interior surface is flat and undecorated while the exterior has moulded decoration in the form of one central groove running longitudinally along the centre of the band, and two further pairs of grooves either side of this, creating ridges which have been incised with rows of diagonal and transverse lines to create a corded effect.

WILT-D2FDE4: MINIATURE OBJECT
A Roman copper alloy, model of a cross-pene hammer head and a short section of integral handle, dating to c AD 300 - 410. The head is a long, thin sub rectangular shape, broadly oval in cross section, with widened central area where the handle has been fashioned as if through a central eye in the hammer head, extending at the top as a rounded knop. One end of the head is a flattened rectangular shape, the striking face; the other narrows to a rounded chisel shape. The arms either side of the centre are chamferred. The handle is circular in cross section and narrows below a step in towards its lower end. There do not appear to be any breaks. Dimensions: 32.3mm in length; 32.1mm in height; 13.7mm in width (expanded central area); 16.21g in weight See: WILT-2020C3; SUR-EB17F7 & WILT-364736. It is believed that such objects were intended as votive offerings. The objects recorded in WILT-2020C3 were found in association with a larger assemblage of votive models including spears, hammers, axes and padlocks, dating to c. AD 330-410. See the British Museum Collections for a similar cross-pene hammer head, accession number, 1964,1201.1376 hammer (miniature) | British Museum

SWYOR-0B7D43: COIN
A copper alloy Roman coin; an illegible as or dupondius of an unidentified emperor, dating from 23 BC to AD 260. It is 26.7mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick. It weighs 11.75g.

SWYOR-0B6E1E: STUD
A cast copper-alloy 'golf tee' style furniture stud or mount dating from the Roman period, AD 43 - 410. It has a shaft of sub-square cross-section. One end of the shaft is rounded and the other end terminates in a cup-shaped, circular concave disc. The stud is undecorated but the concave area may have once contained enamel.

SWYOR-EEB2DA: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy headstud brooch, dating from about AD 75 - 250. The pin and axis bar are missing, and the bow is distorted, bent at approximately a 45-degree angle to the side. The tubular hinge housing on the back of the head has a slot where the hinged pin would have been attached to the axis bar. There is a crest on the head of the bow. Immediately adjacent on the bow lies a circular recess where it is likely a separate headstud was attached. Interrupted by the headstud recess, the crest continues along the bow, forming a ridge which continues all the way along to the foot. The foot flares out to a terminal end which is sub circular in section and has a collar above. Close to the head, the reverse of the object has flanged sides, leaving a hollow recess on the reverse of the bow. The catchplate then protrudes from the reverse of the bow, flaring out as it continuous towards the foot before tapering back in at the terminal. The cathcplate curls to the left as viewed from behind, head uppermost. Each wing is decorated with one red and two blue triangular enamelled recesses, alternating in colour. The bow is undecorated.

OXON-E7450E: HARNESS PENDANT
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Phallic harness pendant dating to c. AD 43-410. It is missing the triangular upper shoulders as noted on similar phallic pendants (for example DENO-C0709A). The pendant has a suspension loop, which is D-shaped in cross-section, at a right angle to a back plate and measures 7.95mm x 6.78mm. The body of the pendant is divided into two zones. The upper zone is trapezoidal with a wide upper edge, a narrower lower parallel edge with two diagonal lines running between these. This has moulded decoration on its upper surface, intended to represent stylised pubic hair. One point of the triangular shoulder is missing with an old break. Below the trapezoidal region is a sub-square zone with a very rounded lower edge which represents the testes. At the meeting point of the pubic hair and testes is a circular-section with a raised moulded feature, representing the flaccid phallus, suggestive of an uncircumcised penis. The reverse is undecorated and slightly concave. The pendant is a dark green almost black in colour. The pendant is 34.12mm long, 15.52mm wide, 11.10mm thick and weighs 9.13 grams, According to Parker (2021) of the 480 phallic objects recorded from Roman Britain, 148 were pendants and of these only thirteen depict a front-facing flaccid phallus. Phallic mounts and pendants were considered to be apotropaic (ritually protective) and symbols of good luck. Plouviez (2005) suggests some phallic pendants from Suffolk may date to the late 1st-2nd centuries AD however dating is broadly Romano-British AD 43-410 AD, as phallic symbolism is largely absent in Late Iron Age Britain (Johns 1996). There are now a growing number of examples on the database including another example from Oxfordshire OXON-551EFE, DENO-C0709A, GLO-221C74, SF-2D10C4, KENT-E3D152 and BH-F31E4C. Excavated examples include a similar phallic pendant found in Corbridge (Green: 1978, p. 58, no. 31 and Pl. 142), Healam Bridge, North Yorkshire (Bishop 2017, p.151-153, Fig. 224, no. 22) and an example found in a third century context found in Aquincum (Lorant 2016: 80; Fig. 6, Nos.1-2). A similar complete triangular harness fitting recorded by Nicolay (2007: pl.92, B4, No.209.62) is complete with a loop that is perpendicular to the body and clearly a harness pendant.

BH-4C730B: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Colchester derivative, double pierced lug, Harlow type brooch dating to the Roman period (c. AD 50-80). The brooch comprises the wings, one half of the spring, the central lug, bow, foot and catch plate. Half of the spring and the pin are missing. The wings are semi-cylindrical, open-ended and hollow within, and both have plain faces. The wings are divided by a central lug with two circular perforations. The upper perforation has an external chord through it. One end of this is broken. The other becomes the outer coil of the surviving half of the 7 coil spring. An axis bar extends through the centre of the spring and into the lower perforation of the lug, where it is broken. The bow projects from the upper edge of the wings and tapers to a a pointed foot. The bow is triangular in cross-section with a prominent crest. This sits on top of a ridge that extends down the centre of the bow, narrowing slightly as it reaches the foot. The crest only extends about a third of the way down the bow. The surfaces either side of the ridge are bevelled. The reverse of the bow is flat. Projecting from the reverse of the lower bow and foot is a triangular catch plate. The outer edge is grooved and curves inwardly forming pin housing. There is an oval perforation through the plate. The entire brooch has a brown patina except for patchy areas, especially half way down the front of the bow where there is a transverse notch. The brooch measures 33.3mm long. The wings are 18.1mm wide, 5mm high and 2.8mm thick. The upper bow is 7mm wide and 3.1mm thick. The foot is 2.8mm wide and 2.3mm thick. The brooch weighs 4.27 grams.

BH-749936: BRACELET
A fragment of wide-cuff penannular cast copper-alloy Roman bracelet dating to the first century. The fragment is rectangular in shape and cross-section, and comprises part of the band and the terminal. The face is decorated with two parallel lines of cable within two grooves and another groove between the cables. This central motif extends across the centre of the face to two worn transverse ridges. The ridges have a series of short horizontal grooves between them. Extending across the terminal are two lines of recessed circles within a plain border. At the opposite end of the plate is a broken transverse break. The underside of the plate is flat and undecorated. The patina across the entire fragment, including the break, is dark green. The bracelet fragment measures 28.5mm long, 18.1mm wide and 1.4mm thick. It weighs 3.71 grams. See Crummy 1983, pp. 37-38, no. 1586, fig. 40 for similar.

NMS-AA0C85: BROOCH
Broken copper-alloy Roman trumpet brooch of Mackreth type TR. 1a.1a. Half of the spring mechanism, pin, lower bow, foot, and catchplate are all missing. The trumpet-shaped head from which the brooch gets its name is plain but is moulded around the periphery; with a projecting nib uppermost. Below the head, to one side of a perpendicular loop, half of the spring and the stub of the pin remains. There is a three-disc knob, sometimes referred to as an acanthus moulding, on the upper bow. The outer tiers are fluted into four-petalled mouldings that run entirely around the bow. The knob is flanked to its upper and lower sides by a group of three 360-degree moulded collars. Only a short part of the lower bow survives, it has an upper arris, and underneath is the start of the perpendicular remains of the catchplate, that extends from the point where the lower collar group finishes. Circa AD 80-160. Length 31mm, width 13mm, weight 6.88g

YORYM-84819B: STATUE
A fragment of a copper-alloy statue of Roman date, c.AD 43 - 410. The fragment is an ear from an animal, possibly a horse. It is sub-triangular in plan with a U-shaped section. Repeated transverse grooves are positioned around the edge of the front of the ear, giving the appearance of hair. Shallow cut-outs with straight edges are present around the area of the break to the lower edge of the ear. A small square cut-out is also present through the edge of the object. The metal has a mid-green patina and is in fair condition. The object is 88.9mm long, 40.1mm wide, 15.3mm thick and weighs 197g. Nineteen (19) other fragments, presumably from the same statue, have been recorded as: YORYM-F46085 – 1 fragment; eye YORYM-DE4D53 – 7 fragments; hair & body YORYM-5053ED – 4 fragments; indeterminate YORYM-0C57F7 – 1 fragment; hair YORYM-0C7ADC - 1 fragment; indeterminate YORYM-0C8EDA – 1 fragment; hair YORYM-C5E41D – 1 fragment; hair YORYM-39BF43 – 2 fragments; hair YORYM-C9B645 – 1 fragment; hair The fragments recorded as YORYM-F46085 and YORYM-5053ED were assessed by Kosmas Dafas of Kings College, London who states that "it is not certain whether we are dealing with an exclusively personalised/individualised portrait of an emperor (?) or an idealised work also bearing certain naturalistic/realistic features". The addition of this ear to the assemblage suggests the figure was mounted. YORYM-DE4D53 and YORYM-5053ED were subjected to pXRF Analysis by Matt Phelps of University College London through which it was determined that the zinc content is very low and does not seem to have been deliberately added (although they could well be recycled metals where repeated re-meltings have evaporated the zinc). The tin content is at 10% and a large amount of lead is included in the alloy at around 18% lead. Phelps surmises that this statue is stylistically Roman which matches the use of zinc which was a technology brought to Britain by the Romans.

YORYM-8265F5: STUD
An incomplete, copper-alloy bell shaped stud, probably a furniture fitting, of Roman date, c.AD 43 - 410. Allason-Jones type 1. The object comprises a circular disc with a concave upper surface featuring a central integral projecting truncated cone. The reverse of the disc is convex with an integral neck from which a short rectangular iron shank extends. The shank is broken and worn. The metal has a dark green patina and is worn. The object is 25.9mm in diameter, 19.7mm tall and weighs 24.6g. Bell Shaped Studs are a multi-purpose form of artefact, commonly found on sites in Britain dating to the Roman period. A basic classification for these studs was established by Allason-Jones (1985): Type 1 with iron shank, usually caulked or fixed into the head with lead; Type 2 with (usually) integrally cast copper-alloy shank, often pierced at the distal end. Type 2 studs are primarily thought to have been used as fittings for boxes and chests, including for attaching decorative panels and lock-plates; Type 1 were multipurpose, with a variety of functions.

YORYM-B88E16: STYLUS
TREASURE CASE : 2023 T1115. Description: A complete though distorted copper-alloy stylus with silver wire decoration of Roman date, c.AD 43 – 200. Manning's Type I. The object comprises a circular sectioned shaft which tapers to a rounded point at one end and a spatulate and waisted, or shouldered, ‘eraser’ at the other. Worn moulded decoration is present where the shaft extends into the point. Four short bands of flat silver plate are adhered to the mouldings. The metal has a dark red/green patina and is worn. The object is 43.7mm long, 5.2mm wide, 3.2mm thick and weighs 4.3g. Dimensions: Length: 43.7 mm Width: 5.2 mm Thickness: 3.2 mm Weight: 4.3 g Discussion: Most work on Roman styli has focused on iron examples but 90% of the Roman styli recorded on the PAS database are of copper alloy. In general terms, the typology developed for iron styli can still be applied to those of copper-alloy. This example fits into Mannings Type 1 with integral point and eraser which date from the 1st to 2nd centuries. Manning (1976; p.34) describes Type 1 styli as the simplest form being essentially a slender rod, tapering to a point at one end and flattened into an eraser at the other. The fact that bronze styli were cast made their decoration relatively easy; iron styli, on the other hand, had to be forged individually, with the result that, as ornamentation was much more difficult and time-consuming, the majority are simple and functional (Manning, 1927, p.34). An undecorated iron stylus of Manning Type1 is held in the collections of the British Museum (Registration number: 1960,0405.250). A further example featuring a bronze stem elaborately decorated with facets and bands of cross-hatching with only the tip made of iron is also in the collections of the British Museum (Registration number: 1934,1106.3). Richard Hobbs, Curator of Romano-British and late Roman collections at the British Museum states that iron styli decorated with silver bands are known while copper-alloy examples are less common (pers.commun. 0911/2023). Conclusion: The stylus consists of five distinct components: a copper-alloy body, and four applied strips of silver plate. These should be treated as individual, associated objects under the Treasure Act 1996. The silver sheet plates fulfil the criteria for Treasure under the Treasure Act 1996 in that they are more than 300 years old and have a precious metal content exceeding 10%; the copper-alloy body is therefore Treasure by association.

WMID-EA61F4: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy colchester derivative Polden Hill brooch (possibly CD PH 6.a2-6.a3 type) of Roman date, circa AD 100-175. The brooch is missing its, foot, catchplate, spring and pin. The brooch is T-shaped in plan and the bow head is hump-like, and slightly angular (comma shaped) in profile. The bow is D-shaped in cross section and tapers to a worn transverse break. The sides of the head are decorated with curved mouldings, characteristic of Polden Hill brooches. At the top of the head is an intact rearward facing hook. The wings are semi-cylindrical with perforated flat end caps. The perforations are incomplete and semi-circular. At the rear of the head and wings is a rectangular concave slot for the missing spring. The head and bow are decorated with two central incised lines that run parallel to each other and taper to a point at the lower bow. Within the lines is beaded decoration. This pattern is repeated at the ends of both wings. On the reverse of the bow is the remains of the catchplate. It flares slightly outwards before ending abruptly due to damage.

The headstud has fragments of yellow glass or enamel and under that there is evidence of red material. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated and the bow is concave. Around the back of the headstud there is black material suggesting that the brooch may have been repaired, perhaps to replace missing material from the headstud. There is evidence of tinning. Dimensions: length 37.1mm; width 37.6mm; thickness: 2.6mm; weight 10.86g. cf. Mackreth Vol 1, p 104 and vol 2, p 74, plate 71, no 7100.

WILT-643DE7: BROOCH
A Roman copper alloy circular plate brooch (possibly repurposed or intended as a decorative mount) dating to c AD 80-250. cf Mackreth's PL CONT 9.a. The brooch is circular with champlevee decoration. The outer rim of the brooch is raised and there is a second raised field inside this with a central raised knop. There is field of grey enamel surrounding the central knop and the remnants suggest that the gray enamel formed a star shape with fields interspersed (although there is no longer any evidence of these). The outer ring has alternating blue and red sections of enamel with small eight petal millefiore flowers at regular intervals around the ring. The enamel is degraded. On the back, there is evidence of a void under the central knop. There is no evidence of a brooch pin or catchplate. However, there appears to be evidence of another substance which is grey and appears to have been applied in a straight line, possibly to adhere the plate to another object (perhaps a piece of jewellery). Dimensions: diameter 19.9mm; thickness 2.63; weight 2.27g. The design is similar to Mackreth vol 1, p 174 and vol 2, p119, plate 116, nos 6974 (for the alternating sections of enamel - although the central knop is not so raised as on this example) and 10998 (for millefiore flowers set in the outer ring).

YORYM-859425: FINGER RING
A complete copper-alloy finger ring, formed from a modified and cut-down bracelet, of Roman date, c.AD 200 – 400. The object is formed of a strip of metal, rectangular in plan and section. It is curved and with its two terminals brought together, forming a almost closed loop. Both terminals feature transverse cuts with one terminal slightly wider than the other. The exterior of the loop features decoration. From the less wide terminal decoration begins with a circumferential groove which is joined by a second groove halfway around the loop. These reach a pair of transverse grooves at the wider loop end with a single ring and dot design visible just prior to the terminal. The interior of the loop is undecorated. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The object is 16.83mm in diameter, 7.66mm in width, 2.15mm in thickness and weighs 3.79g. Numerous cut-down bracelets fashioned into finger rings have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database including; YORYM-9BF29D, YORYM-30691A, WILT-C0BCEB, SF-D4469C, SF-AA9789, IOW-9FAF4E and WILT-026081. OXON-7E7CE3 cites Swift (2012, 167), commenting that the reuse of bracelet fragments as finger rings is seen during the later 4th to mid-5th centuries AD, with some examples being found in Saxon cemeteries. Examples of bracelets and finger rings with multiple motifs from Colchester are illustrated in Crummy 1983, p.46 & 48, fig.47 & 50. These examples derive from mid-3rd to 4th century contexts. Further examples can be seen in Swift 2012, p.169, fig. 1. Ref: Crummy, N. (1983) Colchester Archaeological Report 2: The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester, 1971-9.

YORYM-84182D: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman nummus of the House of Constantine (AD 307-364) dating to the period AD 333 - 334 (Reece Period 17). CONSTANTINOPOLIS type, reverse depicting Victory standing left on prow. Mint of Trier. RIV VII, p.218, no.554.

YORYM-5EE1A1: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy brooch, possibly a headstud type, of Roman date, c.AD 75 - 200. Only the lower bow, foot and catchplate remains. The bow is sub-rectangular in section with a worn break to one end and an integral circular foot knop to the other. The front of the bow is flat, straight and appears to be undecorated. Projecting from the reverse of the bow is a catchplate. At the bottom of the bow, the brooch terminates with a semi-cylindrical knop; decorated with a pair of circumferential shallow grooves. On the flat bottom of this knop is a domed terminal. The metal has a brown patina and is in a worn condition. Some possible ferrous material remains attached to the brooch. The brooch is 35.64mm long, 5.76mm wide across the bow, 13.96mm thick at the catchplate with a foot knop diameter of 7.75mm. It weighs 5.61g. This appears to have originated from a headstud brooch due to the fineness of the bow and the rectangular section. Similar brooches can be seen in Hattatt (2000, p. 332) and Mackreth (2011, p.72-80, pl. 69-77). Ref: Hattatt, R. (2000) A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches. Oxford: Oxbow Books.

WILT-F72071: BROOCH
A fragment of Roman copper alloy headstud brooch dating to AD 75-200 (Mackreth type Headstud 5.). The brooch is missing the foot of the bow, most of the catchplate and the top of the bow (it appears that the bow has broken across the centre line of the headstud). The bow is decorated with the semi-circular curve of the remaining headstud. Below this the centre of the front of the bow is decorated with cross-mouldings creating a lattice of cells down the centre with with half cells along either side and an incised line along the outer edge. The central cells appear to have been decorated with blue enamel and the half cells with red enamel. There is some evidence of tinning or silvering. The foot is damaged and part is missing. It has a collar formed by a rib before the final part of the foot. The remnants of the catchplate indicate that it was attached to a substantial part of the back of the bow. Dimensions: length 32.5mm; width 5.7mm; thickness 3.6mm; weight 2.45g. cf. Mackreth vol 1, p 107, pl 72 and vol 2, p 76, pl 73, no. 11868 .

DENO-F75F71: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy penannular brooch of probable late Iron Age to early medieval date, c. 200 BC to 700 AD, corresponding to Fowler type A1 and Booth type A. The sub-oval-section frame narrows before short knobbed terminals. The metal's surface is covered in a thin layer of corrosion, so it is unclear whether these terminals are decorated with grooved designs or not. The frame is widest at its central point, where there appears to be a vertical groove on one side, perhaps a small pin notch. The brooch's pin is no longer present. Length: 25.9 mm, width: 28.7 mm, thickness: 2 mm. and weight: 5.3 g.

WILT-FE6ADB: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill type (Mackreth, 2011, CD PH 3.c), dating from AD 75-175, of which the head and upper portion of the upper bow are present. The head consists of pierced wing caps attached to both sides of the short cylindrical wings, which hold the spring support bar. A single external chord is attached to a spring of seven curls and held by a rearward facing hook. The upper bow has a central raised crest which loops over the centre of the apex and chord. Decoration of the bow consists of a central tapering longitudinal ridge, flanked by two further ridges on each side. The inner two of these ridges of these appear to have horizontal indentations - these could be pattern or possibly abrasive marks. The brooch has a dark green patina. Dimensions: Length: 16.0 mm; width: 15.7 mm; thickness: 9.3 mm; weight: 6.37 g. cf Mackreth (2011) Vol 2, Polden Hill, p. 49, plate 46, no.1854

YORYM-9C2DD7: STRAP FITTING
An incomplete copper-alloy strap fitting or strap slide of late Iron Age to Roman date, c.50 BC - AD 200. The fitting comprises an openwork, pointed ovate frame with integral semicircular loop to the reverse. The frame has pointed terminals at the tips of the oval with a ridge running between them. At the centre of the frame is a circular openwork area. The loop on the reverse has a D-shaped section and projects from the wider sides of the pointed oval. A circumferential incised groove can be seen around the exterior edge of the frame. The slide has a smooth green patina with the edges slightly damaged and worn. The object is 23.47mm long, 16.12mm wide, 16.31mm thick and weighs 7.91g. Similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database including one from an extensive assemblage of Roman material from 'Near Darlington' (NCL-DC2A17). See also; YORYM-DA5CE2, NMS-1CAC22, WAW-C96DC2 and LVPL-CC35EB. According to the PAS database record for YORYM-FDAB3C, "strap fittings dating to the late Iron Age to early Roman periods are becoming increasingly common finds". Similar pointed oval styles can be found on a range of late Iron Age to Roman objects, including double pointed ovate strap fittings (such as KENT-6ECB7D, NMS-3798B4, CAM-17F455 and LVPL-8AC5D0) and button and loop fasteners (such as YORYM-2F11F9, YORYM-16E08A, SWYOR-7A1C7E and LIN-B2D04A).

YORYM-9B3F0D: MINIATURE OBJECT
An incomplete copper-alloy object, possibly a votive miniature object in the form of a socketed axehead of probable Roman date, c. AD 43-410. The mouth is subrectangular with a shallow rectangular socket. The mouth features a wide incomplete collar. Following the mouth collars, the blade extends and is slightly waisted. The cutting edge is incomplete and very worn. The entire object is bent out of shape with several deep scratches on its surface. The object appears to be undecorated. The metal has a brown patina and is worn and pitted. The object is 31.44mm long, 13.14mm wide, 8.69mm thick and weighs 10.73g. Numerous miniature axes have been recorded on the PAS database; IOW-E2E708, YORYM-7505A8, BH-15EFD4, SF-631D32 and LIN-B1B742. The latter record describes such miniature axes as being of Robinson's (1995) Type III, which is thought to imitate Iron Age and Romano British iron axes, although this form is also very similar to Bronze Age socketed axes. However, these examples feature integral side loop, which this example lacks. Robinson, P., 1995. Miniature socketed bronze axes from Wiltshire. Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society (88).

YORYM-99B7D7: MOUNT
An incomplete copper-alloy coffee bean or "vulvate" mount of Roman date, c.AD 150 - 300. The mount comprises an ovate plate, the edges of which are broken and worn, with a raised, central oval boss, decorated with a deep median groove. The reverse of the mount is concave behind the boss. Two incomplete circular-sectioned lugs are present to either end of the reverse of the plate. The metal has a mid-green delaminated patina and is worn. The object is 21.76mm long, 17.79mm wide, 9.47mm thick and weighs 6.39g. Similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database as YORYM-C4F9CF, NMS-308FA8, BERK-D4A06C, LANCUM-0F2FB1 and SF3424. Mounts of this style appear to be largely 2nd to 3rd century AD in date and are often associated with the Roman military (Appels and Laycock 2007, 125). Such objects have been found at numerous sites throughout the Roman Empire and are thought to have decorated horse-harness, rather than serving as belt-fittings (see Nicolay 2007: p.387). Furthermore, the raised central boss has been interpreted as representing a vulva, thus endowing the stud with an apotropaic value. Ref: Appels, A., Laycock, S. and Payne, G., 2007.

ESS-B8914B: BROOCH
An incomplete and very worn copper alloy brooch (Harlow) of Roman date (AD 50-80). Description:The brooch has a half-cylindrical head with double-pierced lug in which the external cord of the spring and axis bar are held, now mostly missing with the exception of a short length of the axis bar. The wings are decorated with grooves either side of the bow. The top lug is rounded and there is a gap between this and the the crest which emerges from the top of the bow at a near right angle, flattening as it travels down the length of the bow. Two further crests flank this, although these have mostly broken away, and ther is evidence of grooves beside these.The bow is of equal width from the head to the rounded foot. On the reverse of the foot is the mostly intact catchplate without perforation. The brooch has a medium green, very pitted, patchy patina. Measurements: Length: 35.8 mm; Width: 22.2 mm across wings; Thickness 13.3mm; Weight: 7.54 g.

WMID-BCB283: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper-alloy Colchester Derivative (Polden Hill) brooch (type 4.a) dating to circa AD 80 - 120. The catch plate, foot, spring and pin are missing. The brooch head is hump-like, and slightly angular (comma shaped) in profile. At the rear of the head is an oval concave slot for the missing spring. The left wing is semi-circular and concave on the reverse. The right wing is missing. The head has semi circular mouldings either side where the head meets the wings, characteristic of Polden Hill brooches. The bow is D-shaped in cross section and terminates at an old transverse break. On the reverse of the bow is the remains of the top of the catchplate. No other decoration is present on the head or bow. The brooch is a mid-green colour with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion caused by the plough soil has resulted in a loss of detail. Dimensions: length 32.4mm, width 14.7m, thickness of head 8.3mm, thickness of bow 3mm, weight 5 grams. Similar brooches are illustrated in Mackreth (2011) on plate 46 (p.49, Chapter 3, Part 3, CD PH 3-4c). Mackreth, D.F., (2011) Brooches in Late Iron Age and Roman Britain. Oxford, Oxbow Books.

NMS-54BB84: FINGER RING
Description: Heavy but small gold finger-ring set with an intaglio engraved with a horse facing right (left in impression). The ring is of Guiraud's type 2c and Henig's type II. The hoop is biconvex in cross-section, flaring from a minimum of 2.6mm wide and 2.2mm thick at the point furthest from the bezel into smooth, undecorated shoulders which in turn swell into the oval bezel. The oval intaglio is pale brown in colour. It is raised from the surface of the bezel and its sides are sloped and rounded, exploiting the layered nature of the stone so that the horse is cut against a darker background and surrounded by a lighter aureola. The design is that of a horse standing on a baseline made from a single groove. The horse stands firmly on three legs, with the foreleg nearest to the observer (its left leg, or right leg on an impression) slightly lifted. Its neck droops and the mouth is slightly open; the overall effect is that of slow movement. It has a hogged mane, a long slender body, and a long tail textured with short oblique dashes, similar to the mane. Dimensions: External width 22.4mm. Height from top of bezel to back of hoop, 21.1mm. Thickness across bezel, 13.0mm. Weight 11.1g. Discussion: Finger-rings of Guiraud's type 2 are a well-known Roman type, but examples in gold are not common. On the PAS databsse, the closest parallel is probably CAM-7FCC3B. Despite its pale brown colour, the gem is likely to be a carnelian. The cutting of the intaglio is good, and points to a date in the earlier part of the Roman empire before the decline of gem engraving and the increased use of moulded glass pastes in the third century AD. Date: A first-century date is likely and the gem is probably of the Augustan period (27BC-AD14) in which case its manufacture would pre-date the Roman invasion of Britain in AD43.

CORN-E6A74B: HARNESS FITTING
An intact copper-alloy Roman teret ring, of probable Roman dating (43 - 100 AD). It has a dark grey-green patina (90%), with patches of red-brown (10%), which is probable iron staining. On one side of the circular rein fitting, there is a relatively thick, sub-cylindrical protrusion, which likely functioned as the attachment between the horse's harness, and the teret ring. It has no discernible decoration, except four raised lines, running horizontally down its two longest edges and meeting at the the ring. On the opposite side of the ring from this 'attachment', there is what appears to be a a decorative spike. This 'spike' is decorated with five raised lines, encircling it, and it tapers and flares in size in between each of these lines. Ultimately however, its widest diameter is where it meets the ring, and its narrowest diameter is at its terminal, where it terminates into a smoothed point. Teret rings are harness fittings, and they were used in conjunction with chariot driving, where they would be used to feed the horse's reins through to the chariot driver. Dimensions: Full length of object, 69mm. 'Attachment': Length, 12.3mm. Width, 11mm. Thickness, 9mm. Ring: Outer diameter, 42.7mm. Inner diameter, 28.2mm. Thickness, 8mm. 'Spike': Length, 13mm. Diameter(max), 8mm. Diameter(min), 4.5mm. Weight: 51.04g. Examples of this kind are very rare on the database, but a relatively comparable example can be seen at: Record ID: SWYOR-38353C - ROMAN harness fitting (finds.org.uk).

OXON-B23FC3: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman plate brooch probably of the continental type dating to c. AD 100 - 250. The pin, part of a headloop and the catchplate are missing. At the top of the brooch is the bottom half of an attachment loop which is connected to the top of the wings beneath which is a forward facing "neck" which is rectangular in plan and D shaped in cross section which is bent forward at right angles to the wings and is then attached to a forward facing disc shaped plate. At the bottom end of the plate opposite the attachment loop is the remains of the attachment plate. The wings of the brooch are cylindrical and decorated on the upper surface by a pair of horizontal bands at their outer edges. On the reverse of the wings in a central position is a recess where the hinged pin would have been. The pin is missing. On the left hand side of the plate on the front of the brooch at the 9 o'clock position is a circular knop and there is an old break on the opposite side of the disc suggesting that there would originally have been a second knop at the 3 o'clock position. The circular plate itself has within it 2 smaller circular mouldings creating two cells within which the brooch would originally had some form of inlay such as glass or enamel At the centre of the disc are two circular platforms laid on top of each other and diminishing in size. When viewed from the side these stand proud of the disc. Any enamelling or embellishments that were originally on the brooch are missing. The reverse of the plate disc is slightly concave but undecorated. The brooch has a mid green colour. The brooch measures 35.2mm long, it is 23.82mm wide across the wings and the diameter of the disc excluding the lugs is 17.3. It weighs 8.73 grams. There are no identical parallels to this brooch in Mackreth (2011), however the hinged type of fastening and the central disc with knops on the side and spaces for enamel suggest that this is most probably a continental style of plate brooch which Macreth suggests were very varied in form (Vol II page 167). He indicates that most have insets for enamel or glass. Hattat illustrates a wide variety of disc brooches with peripheral lugs which he dates to the second century onwards (Hattat, 2007, Figs. 204 -206). Examples of brooches which share some common features with this brooch include SUSS-8C29B9, WILT-F7BC86 and NMS-1349F4 which is lozenge shaped but also has the remains of a broken chain loop.

OXON-7188E6: BRACELET
A fragment of cast, copper-alloy strip bracelet or armlet with multiple motifs dating to the Roman period (c.AD 200-410). The fragment comprises a gently curved rectangular strip of copper-alloy with a sub-rectangular cross section and worn breaks at each end. The upper surface is decorated with multiple motifs comprising a slightly narrow waisted central rectangular panel flanked to one side with a section decorated by three horizontal bands of V-shaped notches or grooves (the central groove running in an opposite direction to the two outer bands). The opposite panel is plain except for a ring and dot motif. Two transverse grooves and a final row of three ring and dot motifs sit close to the worn terminal. The reverse is plain. The object has a green patina with pale green/white areas. The bracelet fragment measures 39.36mm in length, 4.94mm in width, is 1.86mm thick and weighs 2.03 grams.

NARC-9733BE: BRACELET
A fragment of a copper-alloy Bracelet of Roman date (AD 43-410). The fragment is one terminal of what would have been penannular in form. The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan, with one end, the other end terminates in an old, abraded transverse break. In section the object is broadly flat save for the bulbous terminal which is D-shaped. The bulbous terminal is moulded forming a simplistic snakes head. The rectangular body has two outer ridges forming a border. The reverse is undecorated. Length: 39.62mm, Width: 9.08mm, Thickness: 3.30mm, Weight: 4.9g The metal is brown in colour with areas of light green corrosion. Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: BH-4F1270, SF-A97E88 and NMGW-C3CF9D. Cool argues that snake-headed penannular bracelets may not have only been items of jewellery but might also have been connected with cult practices (Cool 2000, 34). The snake was intimately associated with Asclepius and Mercury with gifts of snake-entwined caducei acceptable gifts at the latter's shrines. See Cool, H. (2000) The significance of snake jewellery hoards in Britannia 31, 29-40.

ESS-9B4C1D: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A worn cast copper-alloy unidentified object of probable Iron Age to Roman date (c.100BC-AD250). Description: The object consists of an axe-shaped plate, slightly rounded on one side and flat on the other. The shaft is set about half-way along the head. The more rounded side raised ridge running down the centre from the centre of the axe head along most of the length of the shaft. The surface has a grey-green patina. Measurements: length 18.12mm; width 12.8mm; thickness 2.96mm; weight 1.29g. Discussion: Due to the object's wear, it is not clear whether the object was originally in the form of an axe. If it was, the object could be a miniature votive axe such as SF-82B3A6, KENT-944DE1, NMS-0714F4. Alternatively, is an axe-shaped skuemorphic brooch such as DOR-8F9551 and LEIC-329910 which may explain the ridge on one side, which could be the remains of a catchplate.

NMS-400F06: COIN
A Roman copper-alloy nummus of the House of Constantine (AD 306-364) dating to AD 330-331 (Reece Period 17). Victory on prow reverse type [CONSTANTINOPOLIS]. Mint of Arles. As RIC VII, pg 271, no 344.

DOR-54D16D: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy bow brooch of Aesica type. The pin and part of the wings are missing. The short open wings concealed the missing bar for the mechanism for the pin. The axis bar would have passed through a circular aperture in the rearward lug which projects from behind the middle of the wings. There are traces of iron corrosion product on this lug and the wings, indicating an iron axis bar. The head projects forwards from the top of the wings before curving back in to join the main body of the bow. It has a ridged longitudinal crest at the top with an oval aperture through it at the back. The crest terminates in an oval knop. The head flares to a projecting lug on each lower corner. It is decorated with a central longitudinal ridge, on either side is a large pellet with a curved ridge above and two angled lozengiform mouldings below. These give the head of the bow a face-like appearance. The main body of the bow projects from the lower part of the wings and flares out into a lozenge shape mid-section and fantail leg. The central section of the brooch is decorated with a ridged crescent in the centre, a protruding lug on each side. The decoration on the triangular foot consists of a large central pellet framed by an arched moulding with a pointed raised apex and raised horizontal ridge on each end. Parallels of this brooch show expanded knops at each corner of the fantail, but these are probably now missing. Behind the leg is a large straight catch plate set in the vertical midline. The remainder of the rear of the brooch is flat and undecorated. Date: Early Roman 50 AD - 75 AD. Dimensions: 37.4 mm x 19.9 mm x 9.4 mm Weight: 13.28 g Reference: A similar example is published by D F Mackreth in The Brooches, p. 60. Also in Webster. G, 1979, fig. 25 no. 2.

SWYOR-3E8C66: KNIFE
A copper alloy knife handle in the form of an asparagus spear dating from the Roman period, AD 43 - 410. This is the long thin copper-alloy handle for a fixed-blade knife in the shape of an asparagus spear or stem, with scales on most of its length which only have started to expand into foliage at the tip. It is sub circular in cross section and is incomplete at one end where the iron blade of the knife would have joined the handle. The object gives a magnetic response at this end. It has a dark green patina. Length 81.5mm; maximum diameter 10.9mm and weight 33.50g. For a similar item see https://the-past.com/feature/asparagus-in-the-roman-world/, an artical written by Stefanie Hoss which shows a photograph of a similar Roman knife handle found in Woerden, Netherlands. Dr John Pearce (King's College, London) and Sally Worrell (PAS National Advisor) have kindly advised on this artefact. To the best of their knowledge, it is the first example of a knife of this type found in Britain. It is a handle type documented in 16 other instances. Those with a known findspot cluster in the Moselle and Rhineland regions, especially around Trier. Of the others, the southernmost findspot is in Rheinzabern, and the northernmost at Woerden in the Netherlands. Dr Pearce writes: "Trier and its environs are abundant in richly decorated knife handles in complex forms of which this is an especially striking example, since the tiny delicate fronds of the growing spear are often modelled with great care. Observation and experimentation show that moulds were formed directly from the spears themselves. The latter were encased directly in clay to form the mould which was then fired to reduce the spears to ash before pouring in the metal. In detail, the Notts example differs from others, being longer, thinner and being less ‘leafy‘ with more limited ‘ferning out‘ (i.e. growing foliage). In this it resembles the example from Rheinzabern, but is longer and thinner, presumably using a younger spear at a less advanced developmental stage as its model. Epigraphic evidence from Trier shows that asparagus was locally consumed, an instance of the introduction of plants and animals into northern Europe following Roman conquest. The technical virtuosity embodied in the knife handle likely made it a symbol of wealth in its own right but the image it carried alluded to status-enhancing Roman-style dining. The findspot of this knife-handle may provide further evidence of asparagus cultivation and consumption in Roman Britain too, a possibility suggested by the excavation of potential asparagus beds near Cambridge in 2014."

KENT-E50E54: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper-alloy disc brooch of Roman date (c. AD 100-300). This is of subclass Mackreth 2011, Chapter 7, Part 2, PL CONT 13.b. no. 11090 Plate 117. Description: The brooch consists of a broadly circular, flat annular frame. Set equidistantly along its outside edge, are flat circular knops with counter-relief ring-and-dot decoration. Three of these are mostly intact while two are broken at their bases. Originally there would have been eight of these. From the inside edge of the frame, rectangular spokes join at the centre to a ring. The spokes are incised with transverse grooves along their lengths. The centre aperture accommodates a protruding swiveling stud-like boss with a square-sectioned shank which widens to a circular, flat head. In the centre of this would have been another decorative element, possibly a gemstone or enamelling, that has now been lost. This also has eight knops set along its outside edge, three of which have broken off. The face of the stud is divided into two cells by a central ring. The centre cell has traces of possible green enamel. The surrounding cell is inlaid with alternating blue and white enamel rods which are separated by triangles of an uncertain material, likely a metal. The annular frame is also inlaid with blocks of alternating blue and white rods but these are separated by blocks of millefiori; blue and white squares of enamel arranged in a checkerboard design. These are surrounded by red borders. Additionally, there is red and white millefiori pattern set within a dark, possibly black, glass. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated but has the remains of the pin attachment or catchplate. The brooch has a medium brown, matte patina Measurements: Diameter: 56.9 mm; Thickness: 13 mm and Weight: 12.23 g. Discussion: Hattat (2007) dates these to the 2nd Century AD, with a similar, although not identical, example on pp.347. This, like many of the plate brooches in Mackreth (2011, pp.401-402), may be a continental import, with another highly decorated example in Johns (1996). This is currently the most decorative and best surviving of its kind on this database. For similar examples, see also YORYM-BF9311, SUR-9D7643 and WILT-AB0865.

NMGW-D6F9A4: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy plate brooch of Roman date (c. 70-250 AD). The brooch belongs to Mackreth’s British Plate 5.a (Dished Cone), as No. 11119, Pl. 108. The brooch is incomplete and distorted, missing the pin and axis bar as well as parts of the rim and inner plate. The brooch is circular in plan (26.1mm in diameter) with a thickened (1.8mm thick), upturned rim with integrally cast rounded lugs projecting at regular intervals from the base of the rim. Four of these lugs survive, there were likely originally six. The plate within the rim rises to form a central, slightly concave c. 6.2mm high conical boss. The cone is tipped by a 1.9mm diameter flattened globular knop, surrounded by an integrally cast circular moulded flared rim, measuring 7.9mm diameter, 0.8mm thick, and c. 0.9mm high. The plate is decorated by at least two concentric circular grooves running at the outer edge of the plate c. 1mm in from the raised rim. The undecorated reverse face is flat except for a 16mm diameter central conical depression corresponding with the boss on the obverse. A pair of integral perforated lugs projects adjacent to the edge of the plate, aligned to the integral catchplate at the opposite edge. The 4.7mm long, 3.3mm high, 5.4mm wide pair of lugs would have attached the now absent pin to the brooch with an iron axis bar, the corroded remains of which blocks the perforations. The catchplate is 5.4mm long and 4mm high, with a curled edge to hold the pin giving it a width of 4mm. The brooch has a roughly worn green patina with patches of dark grey likely representing the original surface, as well as some encrusting soil. The brooch was probably once silvered or tinned, though no obvious trace survives. The brooch belongs to Mackreth’s (2011, pg. 164) British Plate 5.a (Dished Cone), as No. 11119, Pl. 108. Hattat records similar brooches, referring to them as tutulus brooches (2000, nos. 1071, 539, 540, pg. 347).

SUSS-72A395: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy enamelled Polden Hill type brooch of Mackreth (2011) type CD H/PH 2.a2 dating c. AD 75-175. The brooch is missing the pin and lower bow. The wings have a circular cross-section and one end is missing to an oblique break. They are divided on the reverse by the vertical central slot to accommodate the pin. The flat pierced attachment plate survives within the slot, but the pin is missing to a worn break. The front of the wings are plain and undecorated. The bow projects from the head of the brooch at a width of 9.65mm with an incomplete projecting head loop (ext. width: 6.20mm), where it meets the wings. The bow narrows down its length to 8.58mm at the worn break. The bow is plain for 4.35mm at the head and angles at 45° where there is a raised longitudinal rectangular panel (15mm long) containing a vertical row of 2 lozenge shaped cells with triangular cells infilling the fields on all sides. No enamel survives in the recesses. Between the panel and the worn break is short area of worn unclear moulded decoration. The reverse of the bow is slightly concave. The metal surfaces have a green patina. Measurements: total length: 24.22mm; width at wings: 23.01mm; thickness in profile: 8.18mm and weight: 3.78g. In the absence of the greater part of the bow the precise Mackreth 2011 type cannot be confirmed, however compare Mackreth (2011) CD H/PH 2.a2 illustrated on plate 68, no: 2212. Compare also NMS-074BF6 recorded on the PAS database.

SUSS-7155AE: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy enamelled 'headstud' brooch of Mackreth Headstud type 1 dating c. AD 75-200. The brooch is almost complete with the pin missing. The wings have a circular section with two longitudinal grooves on the reverse divided by the vertical central slot to accommodate the missing pin. The iron axis bar survives with corrosion at each end and within the slot. The front of the wings are plain and undecorated. The bow projects from the head of the brooch at a width of 9.88mm with a complete projecting head loop (external diameter: 8.52mm); where it meets the wings. The bow is D-shaped in sub-oval in cross section and narrows down its length to 6.20mm where it meets the foot knob which is 5.49mm wide. The bow is plain at the head with a raised circular cell or 'headstud' divided into four quadrants. One cell retains a dark, probably blue enamel. Below the headstud is a central longitudinal cell containing a vertical row of 13 lozenges with triangles infilling the sides. Three triangular cells contain traces of red enamel. The foot is waisted with a double transverse collar above. On the reverse the solid catchplate extends 21.98mm up the bow and is complete with turnover. The metal surfaces have a green patina. Measurements: total length: 54.90mm; width at wings: 21.34mm; thickness in profile: 15.84mm and weight: 12.43g. This best fits Mackreth (2011) Headstud 1. illustrated on plate 71, no: 7095; a type predominantly found in the South-West of England (ibid. Vol 1; 105). However it should be noted that, this example does not seem to have the incised X above the stud. Compare also BERK-5B00D0; an example recorded from Berkshire with the same headstud divided into quarters.

KENT-7981D6: STEELYARD WEIGHT
A large, lead steelyard weight probably dating to the Roman period, c 43 – 410 AD. Description: The weight is biconical in shape with the remains of a corroded, iron suspension loop located at the top. The upper portion of the weight is elongated, with the lower portion being shallower. The body of the weight has damage spread across it in the form of cuts and pits. Measurements: Height - 37.85mm, Width - 29.25mm, Thickness (at centre point) - 22.52mm, Weight - 117.19g Discussion: The form is usually considered as Roman, and the beam balance is thought to have been lost in Britain between the end of the Roman period and the later medieval period when it was reintroduced from the continent. A number of similar weights are recorded on the PAS database such as HAMP-D59186, LANCUM-2E5F76 & HAMP-60FF66.

DUR-3FA358: SEAL BOX
An incomplete lead alloy object, possibly a seal box lid. This object is half of a circular cast copper alloy object with a peripheral flange, which was probably a circular seal box lid. The object measures 33.3mm (diameter) and is 18.1mm wide, weighing 5.9g. It is 3.6mm deep at the flange and 1.8mm thick away from the flange. The surface is a light brown colour with some green corrosion visible at the edges and sharp dark green decorative lines. Assigning the side having the flange as the reverse, the central portion of the object (13mm in diameter) is domed upwards from the face. The face is decorated with moulded and possibly enamelled features arranged in what would have been concentric circles around the centre if the object was complete. The central domed portion does not have decorative surface features visible. Around the central portion is a double line of dark green. Outside of these lines is a circular row of 6 equally spaced raised circular bosses, each about 2.8mm in diameter. From the position of these remaining bosses it is estimated that there would have been 11 or 12 in the complete object. The outside of the row is bounded by a low raised ridge defining a ground from which the bosses emerge which is green. Outside the ridge is another line of the green material then a wide (2.4mm) raised and undulating ridge which probably had raised decorative bosses or ridges. A further green line lies outside of this ridge and immediately iside the peripheral ridge border which has 10 raised areas which project slightly outside the edge of the object. The green lines and ground areas may be evidence of enamelling or other inlaid material. The reverse of the object is undecorated and has the central concave area of the dome. There are no visible remains of any attachments or fittings which would indicate the function of the object, such as pin lugs or a catchplate which would identify this as a brooch. The flange could, however, possibly be indicative of a lid. Roman seal-box lids usually have a single lug or loop forming part of a hinge joining the lid to the base. If the missing half of this object had such an attachment then the lack of any other fittings on this half would be consistent with the identification of this object as a seal box lid. Circular seal box lids on the database include BERK-9E77F6, LON-26BF22, NARC-0BA84C and NLM-56ED26. However the latter are all made of copper alloy; there is a single lead seal box lid recorded on the PAS database of Roman date (YORYM-3D3F01). The object may alternativley be of post medieval date and unknown purpose.

WILT-534150: CURSE TABLET
An incomplete Roman lead curse tablet, dating to c AD 43 - 410. The find is a sub rectangular sheet of lead, folded once. However, the ends do not meet as they may once have done, because only two sides are cut, the other two apparently with early damage and torn, including the top edge and the outer part of one folded edge. Inscribed capital letters can be seen on the inside section, where the tear has exposed that surface, but also on the outside. Transverse lines have been incised to guide the letters. Once the tablet was gently unfolded, the letters on the outer face read: Obverse: X I [...] l ?F or ?S // F I L I ?V S Reverse: N Dimensions (before unfolding): 16.8mm in height; 15.5mm in width; 4.8mm folded thickness; 3.19g in weight. Dr Roger Tomlin advised gently unfolding the tablet. The FLO, having gained permission from the finder, was able to unfold it without the tablet breaking. Re: the inscription: Dr Tomlin notes, 'I agree that FILI is the reading of the lower line of the obverse, with the second stroke of L drawn upwards to meet the second I. L is peculiar, and might be the beginning of a reverse N, but I think the scribe simply dragged his stylus tip upwards to the next letter, instead of down. The next letter I would like to be V, in view of the likely S which follows (but its upper curve is uncertain). But V is difficult, unless there really is the diagonal that I have marked with a question mark. This would be filius, 'son'. Unusual to spell it out: usually it is only F or FIL. It's not a word diagnostic of curse tablets, but there is one from Bath that uses filius (in full) to identify someone in a list of names; and in curse tablets and amulets people are quite often identified by the name of their mother. The Bath man is Brigomall(a)e filius, his mother's name. The heavy ruling of the lines, also, is not typically curse-tablet; but there is one from Uley that does this. Also a list of names. In the line above, perhaps XI. The first letter is more like A, but AI is an unusual sequence in Latin. The next letter I can't make out; then a small I; and a strange letter which in some hands might be F or S, but oddly enough we already examples of these, and they are quite different. I don't know if there is anything in the line above. On the other face, I can only make out a bold N. 'My guess is that the person's name was written on the inner face, and his 'filiation' on the outer face. An 'identification label' seems unlikely, since there is no hole for attachment, and I wouldn't expect the nomenclature to be so elaborate – whereas curse tablets often name people like this. (They are particularly fond of naming the mother, not the father, to make double-sure.) So it is quite likely to be someone's name written on lead and buried, to curse them. Lists of names are more common, and many tablets have text as well, but this is (arguably) a very simple one'.

WMID-700794: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, dating from AD 60 - 120. The object consists of the majority of the bow, head and wings. The catchplate, the pin and the spring are missing. The wings are circular in cross-section and are undecorated. The slot on the head of the brooch which would have housed the spring is rectilinear in shape. There is a single raised ridge which runs along the centre of the upper portion of the bow and onto the head of the brooch, terminating below the slot. The rest of the brooch is undecorated and tapers towards the break. The brooch is smooth, with an uneven grey and brown surface patina. Mackreth (2011) illustrates a similar examples: plate 58, cf no. 2442, p. 61 in volume 2. Type 5c.c, p. 87, volume 1. A similar brooch has been recorded here: WMID-8FA768 Measurements: Height: 31.1mm Width of wings: 22.6mm Width of bow (maximum): 8.6mm Width of bow (minimum): 4.8mm Thickness: 10mm Weight: 6.7g

WMID-71C1D6: PIN
A copper alloy pin dating of late Roman dating (4th Century) . The stem of the pin is circular in cross section; it projects straight down below the head, where it has been bent in a U-shape and bends upwards to extend above the head, tapering to the end where it terminates in a break. The top of the stem is flat, and the head is affixed to the side so its face is parallel to the stem. The head is broadly circular in shape, and sub-rectangular in plan. There is a central circular hole. The bottom half of the head is undecorated. The top is decorated with two grooves, which project out slightly from the face of the head. The object has an uneven brown and grey surface patina, and sections of the metal are visible. Measurements: Length: 44mm Width: 74.5mm Width of head: 12.7mm Thickness: 12.8mm Weight: 16g Several similar pins have been recorded on the PAS database including: GLO-2325CB, SOM-476B6B, SOMDOR-D60932 and SWYOR-756881. Comments on SOM-476B6B are: Pins of this type are generally dated to the 4th or 5th centuries AD and are considered to be precursors to the early medieval hand-pin (S M Youngs (ed.), 1989, pp. 23-27). Although no direct parallel could be found for this form of running S-scroll decoration, a number of similar examples with fine scrolled ornament with eyed lobes on the Chilton Trinity pin (SOMDOR-D60932; 2007 T109) and a fully-developed hand-pin from a silver hoard from Pictish Gaulcross, Banffshire, conventionally dated to the seventh century (Youngs 1989, cat. 7, pl.7). As with the example from Chilton Trinity, the shape of the three protruding beads above a crescentic plate places it as a link between the beaded, proto-hand pins with circular heads found at Oldcroft, Gloucestershire, and Castletown, Co. Meath, and the fully-developed hand-pin with a flat row of tubular protruding fingers, as found in silver locally at Long Sutton, Somerset (Youngs 2005, 251, fig.5). Bibliography: Youngs, S.

WMID-9C9C83: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
An incomplete enamelled copper alloy button and loop fastener, of Roman Wild 1970, Type VIa dating (2nd Century AD). Less than 50% of the button and loop fastener is present, consisting of the head of the button and loop fastener. The loop and part of the shank are missing. The head is rectangular and decorated with two colours of enamel, probably red and blue. The enamelled decoration is split into two styles. On one side is an alternating triangular pattern, with red inward facing triangles on one side and blue on the other. The other side has five rectangular cells, with alternating enamel. The reverse of the head has an incomplete circular sectioned shank, with a right angle bend at the patinated break. It measures 18.6 mm in length, 21.6 mm wide and 12.1 mm thick (including shank). It weighs 5.4 g. The fastener is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. The style of decoration on the head of the button and loop fastener is consistent with that of a Wild Type VIa (1971). Some similar examples have been recorded on the PAS database including: SOM-BF7D5F, PUBLIC-D181A6,LVPL-C1A9A3 and LVPL-B45CF7. According to Wild, 'The number of fasteners found on military sites suggests strongly that they were items of military equipment' (ibid. 146); he also states that they are unlikely to have been made after the end of the 2nd century AD (ibid.). Reference Wild, J.P. 1970. Button and Loop fasteners in the Roman Provinces. Britannia, Vol 1.

LEIC-448387: BUCKLE
An incomplete Roman copper-alloy buckle, dating to c.AD 300 - 410. Half of the buckle frame remains. Hawkes and Dunning Type IIA. The remaining fragment is C shaped in plan and semi-circular in section, it is formed of a dolphin with a gaping jaw. A large ring and dot motif forms the eve and a large fin covers the dolphins back. At the base of tail is an incomplete circular loop which would have held the now missing spindle. Length: 24.7 mm Width: 13.8 mm Thickness: 5.8 mm Weight: 3.29 g These buckles are associated with the Late Roman military, and are possibly from the equipment of local militia forces

ESS-44D982: STRAP FITTING
A near complete cast copper-alloy strap fitting of Roman to early medieval date (c. 350-450). Description: The object is 'propeller'-shaped in plan- oval in the middle with fan-shaped arms at either side- and trapezoid in cross-section, with bevelled edges on the front. Each arm has two rivet holes at their ends. Two copper-alloy rivets remain in situ, one one each arm. The object has a medium brown-green patina, Measurements: length: 45.9mm; width: 19mm; thickness (including rivets): 3.7mm; 10.02g Discussion: There are a number of similar 'propeller'-shaped strap fittings recorded on the database, some with ring-and-dot decoration, inlcuding HAMP-F7A764; LVPL-7BCDF0; LVPL-390396 . Such belt fittings were used transversely on belts to stiffen and decorate them (Geake 2001, 33). They are usually associated with the late Roman military, but they continue to be used into the early fifth century with larger examples tending to be later correlating with an increase in belt size (Bishop and Coulston 1993, 173-4, 3 and 5). See also Appels & Laycock (2007, fig SL. 14.11) and for later examples MacGregor and Bolick (1993, 212; ref. 36.9).

ESS-469B4A: BRACELET
A fragment of a cast copper alloy bracelet of Roman to early medieval date (c. 200-450). Description: The bracelet remains as a section with transverse breaks at each end. The cross-section is rectangular. The fragment is decorated with a pair of oblique grooves flanking a punched ring-and-dot. and pair of transverse grooves then divide this from a fiurther ring and dot. The width of the bracelet varies in accordance with the decoration, being wide and straight where there are ring-and-dots, and becoming narrower and oblique to frame the oblique grooves. The reverse/inside of the bracelet is flat and undecorated. The fragment has a light green patina, with area of the original metal surface in places. Measurments: length: 28.3mm; width: 5.1mm; thickness: 1.2mm; weight: 1.36g Discussion: Bracelets with similar decoration are illustrated in Crummy (1983, 46) dated c.200-450. Parallels on the database include BH-29716D; NMS-187D28; ESS-DEB9FD and SOM-190C49.

YORYM-7524D5: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Dragonesque brooch dating to the Roman period, c. AD 75-175. Mackreth 2011, DRAG 3.a4, Plate 129, no. 7821. The brooch is incomplete with the central leaf-shaped plate representing the body and one head remaining. This head is incomplete while the opposing head and the pin is entirely missing. The brooch has an S-shape abstract zoomorphic form with heads turned in at each terminal. The remaining head has a small incomplete annulet which is likely representative of an eye. Any further detail on the head is either worn or lost to breaks. The central plate has been decorated with enamel. It has a rectilinear grid, two by three squares, with four further triangular cells, two on each edge. Enamel survives in the central squares and is alternating white and blue. Enamel also survives in two of the curved trinagular outer cells, and appears to be opposing red and light blue in colour. The reverse is flat. The brooch has a worn green patina. Much of the surface is worn, however, the patina within the breaks seen around the remaining head and missing second head does not match the patina seen on the rest of the brooch. This indicates that the damage was recent post-depositional damage. The brooch is 35.07mm long, 20.75mm wide, 3.78mm thick and weighs 4.81g. Similar examples on the database include; WMID-31F7DE, YORYM-4AC615 and NLM-E95B48. Similar examples are also illustrated in Hattatt, p.351, fig. 210 and in Mackreth 2011, p.132, plate 129.

Discussion: Bell Shaped Studs are a multi-purpose form of artefact, commonly found on sites in Britain dating to the Roman period. A basic classification for these studs was established by Allason-Jones (1985): Type 1 with iron shank, usually caulked or fixed into the head with lead; Type 2 with (usually) integrally cast copper-alloy shank, often pierced at the distal end. Type 2 studs are primarily thought to have been used as fittings for boxes and chests, including for attaching decorative panels and lock-plates; Type 1 were multipurpose, with a variety of functions.

In between the voids is a diagonal incised line and surrounding them following the edge of the bezel is an oval incised line. The shoulders curve away from the bezel, and narrow into the hoop, the majority of which is now missing. The finger ring measures 26.65mm in length, 10.10mm in maximum width (across the bezel), 4.20mm in minimum width (at the break on the band) and 1.86mm in maximum depth (at the shoulders). It weighs 1.68 grams. The metal is dark green in colour with a slightly pitted patina. Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: OXON-74ADB9, GLO-6F9B93, BH-AA4F72, WILT-9A0EB3, OXON-5DEF1F and BERK-A9A2A4 which are all broadly dated to the Roman Period.

OXON-0F3805: VESSEL
A cast lead-alloy vessel repair (pot mend) of uncertain Roman to Post-Medieval date c. AD 43-1900. The object is a cast, lead-alloy plug to mend a hole in a vessel wall. The object is composed of an outer sub-ovate plate with a tapered inward circumferential portion and a smaller, sub-ovate plate which would have attached the plate to the body of the vessel. Held in place between the two lead faces and against the stem are the remains of a ceramic vessel. The sherd is coarse and dark grey in colour with fine quartz inclusions. The lead faces are off-white and light grey in colour. The object is 24.42mm long, 23.73mm wide, 11.81mm thick and weighs 21.23 grams. Pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken pottery vessels. There are examples from the Roman period (e.g. SOM-90FA04 and SOM-D6BD5C), Medieval period (LVPL-324D02) and Post-Medieval to modern period (KENT-D53C70). Similar local examples can be found: OXON-313FEB, OXON-C1D2EB and OXON-5E17CA.

OXON-0F5F7A: VESSEL
A cast lead-alloy vessel repair (pot mend) of uncertain Roman to Post-Medieval date c. AD 43-1900. The object is a cast lead-alloy plug to mend a hole in a vessel wall. The object is composed of two sub-oval shaped faces, one flat, the other slightly concave and connected by an internal stem, all cast in a single piece. The flat face is somewhat larger and more regularly shaped than the other. The two faces sit very close, and in places right up against each other, so the stem is represented by a slight groove around the edges of the flat sides only. No trace of pottery surrounds the stem. It has a typical off white/cream colour. The object is 30.96mm long, 21.00mm wide, 10.08mm thick and weighs 26.10 grams. Pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken pottery vessels. There are examples from the Roman period (e.g. SOM-90FA04 and SOM-D6BD5C), Medieval period (LVPL-324D02) and Post-Medieval to modern period (KENT-D53C70). There is not sufficient pottery remaining within the groove to make a definite dating assessment. Similar local examples can be found: OXON-7528B5, OXON-4AA9E1 and OXON-B96FD2.

OXON-8E84CC: BRACELET
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman bracelet dating c. AD 250-410. The bracelet consists of one terminal and part of the body bent in two places. The strip is broadly rectangular and D-shape in cross-section. From the squared terminal the side of the strip bends to a 90 degree angle before gradually tapering to an old worn transverse break. The strip is possibly decorated with inscised transverse grooves of varying width and depth although the surface corrosion does not allow for definite identification. The underside is relatively flat and undecorated. The surface has a corroded light to mid green patination and is heavily worn and abraded. The fragment measures 33.15mm long and a maximum of 3.62mm wide tapering to 2.17mm and is 2.03mm thick. It weighs 1.57 grams. Examples of plain bracelets are recorded by Crummy (1983: 38) and have been found in context dating to the 3rd and 4th century AD. However the majority recorded in this source and on the database are decorated such that this may be a very worn example. This example is similar to many other late Roman bracelets on the database e.g. OXON-BB3602, OXON-04AE1E, OXON-E5E657, IOW-3D0351, HAMP-3F1189, NARC-235F74 and SF-694E19.

OXON-A312C1: VESSEL
A cast lead-alloy vessel repair (pot mend) of uncertain Roman to Post-Medieval date c. AD 43-1900. The object is a cast, lead-alloy plug to mend a hole in a vessel wall. The object is composed of an outer sub-ovate plate with a tapered inward circumferential portion and a smaller, sub-ovate plate which would have attached the plate to the body of the vessel. Held in place between the two lead faces and against the stem are the remains of a ceramic vessel. The sherd is coarse and dark grey in colour. The lead faces are off-white and light grey in colour. The object is 28.80mm long, 27.95mm wide, 8.11mm thick and weighs 28.92 grams. Pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken pottery vessels. There are examples from the Roman period (e.g. SOM-90FA04 and SOM-D6BD5C), Medieval period (LVPL-324D02) and Post-Medieval to modern period (KENT-D53C70). Similar local examples can be found: OXON-0F3805, OXON-313FEB, OXON-C1D2EB and OXON-5E17CA.

OXON-A3600D: BROOCH
A very corroded, incomplete, iron Roman brooch dating to c. AD 1st-2nd centuries. Probably Polden Hill type, although any detail of the bow or head is now obscured by the corrosion layer. The brooch is missing its pin, spring and catchplace, and only a small section of the bow survives. The brooch is 18.21mm long, 16..27mm wide, 5.02mm thick and weighs 3.95 grams.

OXON-A3EEEF: WEIGHT
A complete cast lead -alloy spindle whorl or weight, of unknown date. This is plano-convex in shape, with a moulded circular aperture slightly off-centre measuring c. 7.20mm in diameter. The surface of the spindle whorl is covered entirely in a matte dark grey patina, with white specks especially on the flat bottom. The whorl has a maximum diameter of 28.37mm and of height 11.78mm and weighs 44.91 grams. The shape conforms to Walton Rogers form A1. Dating is not straightforward since spinning using spindle whorls spanned the Iron Age, Roman, Early Medieval, Medieval and early Post-Medieval periods. However, lead spindle whorls from the Iron Age are rare. Walton Rogers (2007, 23-24) argues that central apertures tend to be smaller in Roman and Early Medieval examples and larger in Medieval and Post-Medieval examples due to differing sizes of spindles being in common usage in each period. However, the size of the aperture of the present example falls directly in the middle of the two ranges. Therefore, a broad dating range has been maintained, as it has for a number of parallels on the PAS database: OXON-B87D7B, NLM-681AD5, YORYM-844482, WMID-4809ED, and SF-351B10 to give some examples.

OXON-C86C0E: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Roman developed T-shaped brooch, dating to the 1st or 2nd century AD. The brooch has tubular wings, 16.9mm wide, which hold the pin axis bar, with a slot in the centre rear of the wings for the pin. A mobile section of the hinged pin remains, c. 14mm in length, after which it ends in a break. On the top of the head are the remains of a broken headloop, which is flanked on either side by upward-pointing 'petals'. Below the head sits a vertical rectangular panel, c. 9mm wide and 16mm high, which is split vertically into two rectangular recessed cells, which may have once contained enamel. Below this, on the apex of the bow, is a triangle picked out in relief with a raised, hatched edge. From this point, foot of the brooch begins to narrow towards its thinnest point at 3.5mm, and terminates in the sub-triangular catchplate, which is present and complete. The foot has incised decorative lines on either side of the front, parallel to the edges. The brooch has a mostly uniform and compact blue-green patina over its entire surface. The brooch is most similar to examples illustrated by Bayley and Butcher (2004:166-168) as 'Developed T-shaped brooches'. They state that these are usually hinged and have enamelled decoration in simple geometric cells. They date various examples between c. AD 50-150. Hattatt (2000:303) also illustrates some similar examples in Figure 162: nos. 387, 912 and 913 particularly, which he refers to as Wilsford type and assigns a 1st-2nd century AD date to. Mackreth (2011: pl. 63, particularly No.12148) also illustrates similar examples albeit ones with multiple type definitions.

OXON-C711B2: COIN
A very worn Roman copper alloy as or dupondius of unclear bearded emperor, dating to the period c. AD 100-250. Unclear reverse type featuring a figure (probably female) standing left. Unclear mint.

OXON-EC5EDE: COIN
A worn Roman copper alloy nummus of the House of Constantine (AD 307-361), dating to AD 343-348 (Reece Period 17). VICTORIAE DD AVGG Q NN reverse type, depicting two Victories facing, each holding up a wreath. Unclear mint. There is a large edge chip between 7 and 10 o'clock when looking at the obverse, and most of the legends have been clipped.

OXON-EC7E91: COIN
A very worn Roman copper alloy radiate or nummus of unclear emperor dating to AD 260-402. Unclear reverse type (possibly featuring a female figure standing), unclear mint. It appears as if more than half of the coin is missing, unless it has a very irregularly shaped flan.

OXON-A5375B: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
An unidentified object, most likely of Roman date. The object consists of an elongated cone, circular in cross-section, which tapers to a rounded tip, and which has a decorative collar along the base consisting of a narrower upper band which has fine vertical hatching, and a wider lower band which has no decoration other than an incised line following its lower edge. Protruding from the base of the cone is the remains of an iron shank, which is sub-square in cross-section. The cone itself is mostly covered in a dark green compact patina, although this is marked by paler green pitting on one side, and globular bulky accretions of hard, possibly ferrous, corrosion on the other. The shaft is dark brown in colour. It is 37.03mm long and 13.91mm in diameter. It weighs 12.29 grams. There are a number of similar objects recorded on the PAS database. The closest parallels are NMS-26C3B8 (which is recorded as a Roman plumb bob, but its square sectioned shaft appears integral to the object which is entirely of copper alloy), WAW-FEA504 and GLO-D81131 (Roman plumb bobs with square-sectioned iron shafts) and NMS-A3CA02 (recorded as a Roman furniture fitting). Other similar objects are BH-4DEE27 (recorded as a mount of uncertain date) and WILT-FC8AE3 (an awl of Iron Age to Roman date, entirely made of copper alloy). Objects which possible fall into a similar category are: LANCUM-70A117 (a possible handle of Roman date) and WMID-4CCDD1 (a Roman key with a copper alloy handle and square-sectioned iron shaft). Also see Jackson (1990: plate 13) for similar objects, identified as mounts or fittings. On the basis of these parallels, a Roman date can quite confidently be assigned to this object, however its function remains uncertain, although it is most likely either a plumb bob or a mount, or perhaps a handle of a key or other object.

WMID-5D8A0F: COIN
An incomplete copper alloy nummus of the House of Valentinian (AD 364 to AD 378), dating to the period AD 364 to AD 378 (Reece Period 19). FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse type depicting an Emperor with a standard, dragging captive right. Mint uncertain. Diameter: 13.0 mm Thickness: 1.3 mm Weight: 0.6 g

VICTORIAE DD AVGG QNN reverse type depicting two victories facing one another, each with a wreath, a heart symbol between them at leg height. Uncertain mint. The entire bottom half of the coin is missing, plus a significant chip from the left side edge when looking at the obverse.

OXON-A82728: COIN
A worn copper-alloy probable contemporary copy of a Roman nummus of the House of Constantine (AD 307-361), dating to AD 355-361 (Reece period 17). FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse type depicting a soldier spearing a barbarian who has fallen from a horse (fallen horseman). Possibly mint of Lyon. The surface has significantly flaked away on the obverse, so that only the top and back of the head can be seen.

BH-239F36: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman radiate or nummus of an uncertain emperor dating to the period c.AD 260-402. Uncertain reverse type, possibly GLORIA EXERCITVS, depicting two soldiers standing, between them one or two standards (AD 330-341), Reece Period 17. Uncertain mint.

OXON-FB5975: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy brooch, probably dating to c. AD 50-200. The surviving fragment comprises of the foot and catchplate only. The foot is sub-rectangular in cross section at the break with the bow, and from here the fragment tapers into an unelaborated catchplate, which is triangular in plan and has a lip or pin rest curving to the right. There is no raised ridge to indicate a continuation of the bow - rather, the fragment is completely flat along its left edge. There is also no decoration present. The surface of the fragment has developed a uniform, compact dark brown patina, with some paler more powdery corrosion product underneath the curvature of the pin rest. The fragment is 20.62mm long, 9.91mm wide and 4.45mm thick (measured across the lip). It weighs 1.47 grams. The plainness of the fragment makes it difficult to attribute. Similarly shaped catchplates can be seen on a range of different types of brooches dating to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, so a broad date has been assigned to this example.

NARC-2ED351: COIN
An incomplete copper-alloy Nummus of the House of Constantine dating to the period AD 330-335 (Reece Period 17). CONSTANTINOPOLIS reverse type depicting a Victory on the prow of a boat with sceptre and shield. Unclear mint. Diameter: 15.84mm, Weight: 2.0g The coin is missing minor portions of its outer flan.

NARC-2EC13C: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Headstud Brooch of Roman date (AD 70-160). The object is composed of rectangular wings which are decorated with a vertical groove, the outer edges of the wings are missing due to old, abraded breaks. The reverse of the head retains a rolled cylindrical tube, with a central rectangular slot, through which a partial wire pin projects. The axis bar and spring are largely retained within the back of the head. There is a central, partially retained loop projecting from the upper edge of the head which now forms a single spur. A rectangular sectioned bow extends centrally from between the wings, tapering in width toward a stepped semi-circular pedestal foot. At the apex of the bow there is a circular headstud with a raised equal armed cross within. Below the headstud, the front of the bow is decorated with a series of triangular and lozenge cells, which are flanked by raised lines. There is blue enamel retained within three of the lozenge cells. From the back the foot the catchplate is missing due to an old, abraded break. The metal dark green in colour with a pitted patina. Length: 35.50mm, Width: 17.39mm, Thickness: 6.69mm, Weight: 9.7g. Similar examples can be found on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database: including YORYM-430349 and PUBLIC-57F294. A similar design is also depicted in Hattatt (2000, p. 332, fig. 191, no. 939). Reference: Hattatt, R., 2000 A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches Oxford : Oxbow Books.

NARC-061942: BROOCH
An incomplete copper alloy Brooch of Roman date (AD 130-360). The object is a Colchester derivative, Polden Hill type, of Mackreth 2011, Chapter 3, Part 3. Group 4i. The object is composed of semi-cylindrical wings with outer raised double collared ends with a rear-hook at the top of the head. The spring, pin and axis bar are partially retained within the back of the wings. The bowhead is hump-like in profile. The body tapers to an abraded break resulting in the loss of the foot and catchplate. Polden Hill (Mackreth 2011, Part 3, Group 4, flat wing ends type), c.f. Mackreth Type 4.i. Length: 24.33mm, Width (wings): 26.40mm, Thickness: 5.26mm, Weight: 8.5g The metal is green/brown in colour with a slightly pitted patina. The brooch is a Polden Hill type, Bayley and Butcher (2004:160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands and suggest they date to AD 80 to 120. Mackreth (2011) classifies this type as a Type 4i.

WMID-5DCD4D: COIN
An incomplete copper alloy nummus of uncertain ruler but of 4th Century Dating (AD 300 to AD 400). Reverse type uncertain. Mint uncertain.

OXON-AEA844: COIN
A copper-alloy Roman contemporary copy (barbarous) radiate of an unclear ruler, dating to c.AD 275-296 (Reece Period 14). Unclear reverse type, unclear mint. The small size may suggest it was a contemporary copy of a coin.

WMID-5DDA32: COIN
An incomplete copper alloy nummus of uncertain ruler but of 4th Century Dating (AD 300 to AD 400). Reverse type uncertain. Mint uncertain.

OXON-2C8764: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
A complete copper-alloy button and loop fastener of Wild (1970) Class III, dating to the early Roman period (AD 50 - AD 200). The head of the fastener is circular in shape with a central circular boss within a deep circumferential recess. The shank protrudes from the reverse of the head, and bends at 90 degrees before forming a tear shaped attachment loop. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The fastener is preserved extremely well, with an even greyish green patina covering most of its surfaces. The central recess may have contained enamel although none has survived. It measures 26.35mm in total length, with the head being 15.07mm in diameter and 4.78mm thick. The attachment loop is 20.10mm in length and 5.5mm thick at its base and the object weighs 8.73g. This fastener is probably a variation between Wild’s (1970) Class III and Class Va fasteners (1970, 138-140) that tend to have a teardrop shaped head and triangular attachment loop. The Class III fasteners were the most common of all button and loop fasteners and are thought to have originated in the second half of the 1st century AD, with the majority probably belonging to the middle part of the 2nd century (1970, 146). Several similar rounded button and loop fasteners (Wild Class Va) have been recorded on the PAS database including: WMID-62AAC5, YORYM-AC7C5D, GLO-AF6170 and PUBLIC-F0476B with the more common teardrop or petal-headed fastener (Class III) illustrated: SWYOR-D68398; BH-1284F4; NCL-62CF78; SUR-FFB614; WAW-DE8986; SWYOR-1AA8A7; DUR-937C13; SWYOR-061401 and NLM-610627.

OXON-2D5C01: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman brooch of the Mackreth type 4.1b1 (Hinged Trumpet sub-type), dating to the period c. AD 50-125 AD. The head, bow and pin of the brooch are missing and only the fantail along with a small section of the catch plate survives. The surviving section is the lower part of the bow formed from a raised knop which is decorated with two incised horizontal lines. From this extends the bottom panel in the shape of a triangular fantail. This is decorated by a central triangle with infilling triangles on either side and the bottom. These lozenges most likely contained enamel although no traces of these could now been found. Faint red and blue enamel was found on the horizontal lines and at the start of the fantail. The reverse is plain with a small section of the protruding catchplate in place with a broken jagged edge. The brooch is 25.38mm in length, 15.40mm in width, 9.01mm thick (including the catch plate) and weighs: 5.69g. This form of brooch is termed a Trumpet Head derivative by Hattat who illustrates two identical examples (Hattat 2001, p. 329, Fig. 188, nos. 449 & 86) and dates these to the 2nd century AD. This brooch is also similar to No. 5603 within Mackreth's (2011, p. 89, pl. 86) corpus which he defines as a Hinged Trumpet variety sub-type, type 4.1b1, having an enamelled lozenge fantail design. (Mackreth Vol 1, page 89 and plate 86, ref 5603) and dating to AD 50 – 125. Similar examples are to be found on the Portable Antiquities database (with enamelling): NLM-E1D6A9, PUBLIC-4C213F, DOR-36DC69 and SWYOR-903958 and complete examples: DUR-81CD56, LANCUM-02A5D9, SWYOR-B68280 and SWYOR-3CBA6B.

OXON-2E29B2: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet derivative brooch of the Alcester type (2nd century AD) or Mackreth type (Hinged Trumpet sub-type), dating to the period c. AD 100-200. The lower section of the bow, catchplate and pin of the brooch are missing and only the upper section with the attachment loop and spring survives. The surviving section is the upper part of the bow formed from a semi-circular cross sectioned trumpet like head. On the top of the head is the small circular attachment loop. The is trumpet shaped bow, tapers towards the centre where there is a prominent projecting transverse moulding before a jagged breaks indicates when the lower section of the bow has broken off. At the rear of the head the spring is open and is secured around a copper alloy axis bar set within lateral lugs. The spring comprises of six coils within the wings with evidence of iron corrosion. The front of the brooch is decorated. There is a band of raised dots bordered by an incised groove across the top of the head. There is a raised vertical band down the centre of the head, with an oval area of silvering on each side, maybe representing eyes. There is another row of raised dots across the bottom of the head, and the flange is covered with similar bumps. This brooch has a mid-green patina. The brooch is 29.63mm in length, 11.10mm in width across the wings, 12.77mm thick and weighs: 7.60grams. This form of brooch is termed a Trumpet Head derivative by Hattat who illustrates an identical example (Hattat 2001, p. 331, Fig. 190, no. 976) and dates these to the 1st and 2nd century AD. Bayley & Butcher 2004 (Roman Brooches in Britain, Society of Antiquaries of London) refer to this type as the Alcester brooch that is 'widely distributed throughout Britain from South-East England (Canterbury) to Scotland (Newstead), who note that it is thought to be Antonine in date (AD138-192), and the alloy analysis suggests a northern origin; the distribution on this database, and elsewhere, is across Britannia (2004, 170; ref. T162). Similar examples are to be found on the Portable Antiquities database: SWYOR-E7D222,SF-5EFEC5, SUSS-B78DE6, WILT-5D0248, HAMP-F18E25, LEIC-68F66C, LVPL-BA922C

OXON-42029B: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman T-shape derivative brooch of the Wilsford type (dating to the 1st and 2nd century) dating to the period c. AD 75-125. The surviving section is the lower bow formed by a moulded collar decorated with incised vertical grooves. The lower part of the bow tapers with a broadly triangular section to the foot with a bevelled top ridge decorated with incised parallel diagonal grooves. The foot terminates in a D-shaped terminal knop set perpendicular to the line of the bow, with incised notches around the outside edge. On the reverse of the foot is an incomplete quadrilateral catchplate, which is missing the turnover. The brooch has a light dusty green patina. An example with a similar moulded collar and lower bow is illustrated in Hattat (2000) p.302 no: 914. Bayley and Butcher (2004: 161) support a broad date of second century for these brooches and places this type of brooch into their Class A an example of which is number T158A. Mackreth also illustrates a similar example (Mackreth 2011: plate 82, particularly no 5198_ which he classifies as his TR type 1.3b2. Similar examples of the brooch can be found on the PAS database: OXON-971FBD, SUSS-578851, SOM-8FD238 and HAMP-DA4011 and others are held by the Oxfordshire Museums Service e.g. OXCMS : 1986.253.93, OXCMS : 1986.253.95 and OXCMS : 2000.63.sf201. The brooch is 36.02mm in length, 10.64mm in width across the catchplate and 10.00mm across the broken head, is 3.15mm thick and weighs: 4.58g.

OXON-426AE9: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet bow and fantail derivative brooch (2nd century AD) or Mackreth type 4.1b1(Hinged Trumpet sub-type), dating to the period c. AD 50-125. The brooch is almost complete with only the pin missing. The brooch is formed by a fixed circular attachment loop and rectangular wings. There is a vertical ridge at the end of each wing with a small section of the enclosed spring visible on one of the exposed wing edges. The reverse is tubular and acts as a housing for the axis bar and spring some of which is still retained. From the centre of the head a D-sectioned upper bow extends into a circular ring and dot style panel with two short knop projections extending, one to each side. Red enamel is still present on the central dot and in the surrounding ring cell. A triangular lower bow extends from the bottom edge of the circular panel creating a fantail. The lower bow is decorated with a lattice pattern consisting of central column of three vertically aligned conjoined lozenge shaped cells which most likely would have contained enamelling although none has survived. On the reverse the catchplate is still present and it curls to the left as viewing the reverse of the brooch, head uppermost. This brooch has a mid-green patina. The brooch is 44.11mm in length, 14.38mm in width across the fantail and 15.82mm across the wings, is 8.51mm thick and weighs: 8.09grams. This form of brooch is termed a Trumpet Head derivative by Hattat who illustrates an identical example (Hattat 2001, p. 330, Fig. 189, nos. 988) and dates these to the 2nd century AD. This brooch is also similar to No. 5603 within Mackreth's (2011, p. 89, pl. 86) corpus which he defines as a Hinged Trumpet variety sub-type, type 4.1b1, having an enamelled lozenge fantail design and dates them more closely to AD 50 – 125. Similar examples are to be found on the Portable Antiquities SWYOR-B68280, SWYOR-3CBA6B, BERK-8E6E65, LVPL-223393, WILT-0AAD63

OXON-689B56: STUD
A complete copper-alloy stud or mount of likely Roman date (c. AD100 – 410) of unknown function, possibly a furniture fitting. The stud is a discoidal circular head and is 20.95mm in diameter and 4.09mm thick. The upper surface of the head has a circumferential rib and a central circular rib, creating a wide, ring-shaped cell and a central circular cell. On the reverse of the disc is a slightly bent integral circular-sectioned shank (11.16mm) which is chamfered and tapers to become square sectioned at its terminal (2.94 x 1.045mm). Overall the stud measures 20.95mm in diameter, 17.50mm in length, the head is 4.09mm thick and it weights 7.97g. Th object combines the head of Bell Shaped Studs, a multi-purpose form of artefact, commonly found on sites in Britain dating to the Roman period, with the shank of regular shape. Similar decorated studs from Colchester were discovered in a context dating to between the mid 2nd Century to AD 300, and another was discovered unstratified (Crummy, 1983, p118, nos. 3220 and 3221). Similar objects are noted on the database: OXON-EE91B5, BERK-AD82EE, LIN-182DF7, SUR-4EF0FD, WREX-CEDEE2 and NMS-076D91.

OXON-BC95C9: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch, possibly a hybrid of bow and plate types of Hod Hill and Aesica variant missing the head, pin, lower portion of the bow and catchplate. The head is ovate and measures 25.32mm x 14.15m. It has been pierced by three holes (two identical measuring 2.21mm in diameter sited above a smaller puncture measuring 1.35mm in diameter below and between the two). The head sits on a sub-rectangular plate of the bow with four moulded parallel ridges which run down the tapering body ending in a transverse ridged collar. The lower section of the bow is missing to a worn break at the junction with the catchplate. A small section of this remains but is also broken with an old break. The brooch is undecorate save for the moulded ridges. Evidence of iron corrosion is visible in the oval head and on the reverse. The three small holes on the head suggest that the brooch may have been re-shaped and reused as a typological parallel cannot be confidently found. Overall the brooch measures 48.92mm in length, 25.09mm in width across the head, is 4.08mm thick and weighs 14.67 grams.

OXON-BE89BD: BROOCH
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Rosette or Fantail/Rosette derivative brooch dating to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD (c. 43-200 AD). The spring and pin are missing. The brooch is a flat plate shaped like a Rosette and has cells for enamel consisting of three concentric circles, each with a raised band, thus enclosing recesses in which there are the remains of enamel. The central recess is now empty and hollow (possibly a variant of Hattatt's 'Keyhole' type Rosette brooch) with a wider band surrounding it. The two outer recesses appear to have contained blocks of red enamel, some of which remains together with white globules (this may be the remains of a paste which secured the enamelling in place). Below, the foot widens to a 'fantail' or triangular form with a rounded outer edge. The foot is decorated in the form of a recessed cruciform in red enamel and the outer four sections in blue. There is some damage to the side of the fantail with some of the decoration being lost. A small catchplate projects from the reverse of this lower region of the brooch, it is rectangular in shape but has lost its outer tip that would have bent over to form a rest for the pin. On the reverse of the back plate, it is possible to see a circular hole in the centre and the missing spring mechanism at the top. The surface of the brooch has a dark green patina together with the blue and red enamelling. The overall dimensions of the brooch are 26.84mm in length, 14.18mm wide at the upper disc, 10.62mm at the waist and 10.24 mm at the fantail, it is 11.30mm thick in profile, including the catchplate and it weighs 3.28 grams. This form of brooch is a Roman Rosette Type noted by Hattat who illustrates a similar example (Hattat 2001, p. 309, Fig. 168, nos. 792) and dates these to the 1st century AD. This brooch is also similar to No. 14896 within Mackreth's (2011, p. 22, pl. 19) corpus which he defines as a Rosette disc type with the Polden Hill spring system, type 10.a. Similar examples are to be found on the Portable Antiquities BUC-CB527E, WAW-8E7AB9 and WMID-87ABB.

OXON-D45BB7: BROOCH
An incomplete copper-alloy Colchester one piece brooch dating from the Iron Age to Roman period (c. AD 25-70). The brooch survives as the head, bow, foot, catchplate and some of the spring mechanism. The pin is missing. The head of the brooch possesses only one of two short wings. The surviving side is flat at the back and has an angled front so they are triangular in plan. The upper section curls up and over itself narrowing and flattening as it does so before being folded flat against the front of the bow leaving a small loop above the head of the brooch. The integral spring mechanism sits within the broken wings and curves around a now broken axis bar which is visible only within the integral coil. As seen from the front, four coils wrap around the axis bar before being folded over the top and through the hoop above the bow. The other side of the spring coil is now missing along with the pin. The bow projects from the front of the wings with a width of 4.15mm. It is sub-oval shaped, almost sub-rectangular, in cross section and gradually tapers down its length to a minimum width of 0.81mm at the foot which is pointed and plain. The entire bow is also plain and undecorated baring the strip folded over its top. A triangular catchplate extends from the reverse of the bow and the upper surface curves to meet the back of the bow, while its outer surface is flat and plain. Its lower edge is short and runs perpendicular to the foot of the brooch. The catchplate has two circular holes one slightly larger than the other. The outer tip is bent over 90 degrees to form a rest for the pin. The brooch has a dark green patina and is worn smooth. The brooch is 36.75mm long, 16.00mm wide at the axis bar, 10.62mm thick in profile and weighs 4.11 grams. The brooch is of Mackreth type 3.1 (Mackreth 2011, chapter 3, part 2). Similar brooches are illustrated by Hattat (2000, 297, fig. 156, no. 256), Mackreth (2011, pl. 22, no.363) and Bayley and Butcher (2004, p.62-63, no. 59). The latter describes the type as one from south-eastern Britain which are defined by their cross bar protecting an integral spring and dating to the mid first century c.AD 25-70 state (Bailey and Butcher 2004, 84). Similar examples can be found on the database: OXON-4240F2, SOM-C31BB1, SUSS-A69C09 and HAMP-4F40C4.

OXON-E8D79C: PIN
A complete copper-alloy pin of possible Roman to Early Medieval date, c.AD 43-900. The head is globular or hemispherical approximately 7.57mm x 6.23mm, with a tapering circular sectioned shaft extending from the centre of the lower hemisphere. The shaft narrows to a kink before widening slightly approximately mid-way along its length and terminates in a rounded blunt end. The metal has a dark brown/green patina and is worn. The object is 39.36mm long, 7.57mm in diameter at the head, 2.17mm in diameter at the shaft and weighs 2.62 grams. It can be very hard to distinguish Roman pins from middle Anglo-Saxon pins, but on the whole middle Anglo-Saxon pins have more slender shafts and tend to have collars beneath the heads. Without contextual information it is not possible to date this pin accurately, although the appearance of other Roman finds from the area suggests a probable Roman date. Similar examples on the database can be found: YORYM-CC6206, NMS-CCC8BA, NMS-1A4999, NMS-53EC44 and SF8318.

WMID-A28E39: MINIATURE OBJECT
AN incomplete probable miniature copper alloy socketed axe head, probably dating from the Bronze Age to the Roman period (1000 BC to AD 410). Less than 25% of the socketed axehgead is present, consisting of the loop and part of the mouth. There is a large loop taking up most of the length od the body one end has a large flange. Rear is concave suggesting that this is one half of the casting blade end appears broken away. It measures 34 mm in length, 18.8 mm wide and 3.7 mm thick. It weighs 12.7 g. The axeheadh is a mid green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement while within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Miniature socketed axeheads can be dated from the Bronze Age/Iron Age transition through to the Roman period, though a date towards the earlier end of the spectrum is more likely. They probably functioned as amulets or votive offerings. Compare NLM-6096E6, SWYOR-98B8EA and SWYOR-5C21D2. HAMP CFC8B8

Dr Anna Booth (2014, p.129) discusses the distribution of Type A brooches as being particularly common in North-East England and South-East Scotland with notable concentrations in Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and along Hadrian's Wall. They tend to focus on Roman military sites followed by towns. Fewer than 50 have also been found at hillforts and Roman villas. Of those from hillforts the majority of dated examples come from Roman contexts. Ref: Booth, A.

YORYM-70A484: STUD
An incomplete, copper-alloy bell shaped stud, probably a furniture fitting, of Roman date, c.AD 43 - 410. Allason-Jones type 1. The object comprises a circular disc with a concave upper surface featuring an central integral projecting truncated cone. The reverse of the disc is convex with an integral neck from which a short circular iron shank extends. The shank is broken and worn. The metal has a dark green patina and is worn. The object is 34.4mm in diameter, 20.4mm thick and weighs 27.1g. Bell Shaped Studs are a multi-purpose form of artefact, commonly found on sites in Britain dating to the Roman period. A basic classification for these studs was established by Allason-Jones (1985): Type 1 with iron shank, usually caulked or fixed into the head with lead; Type 2 with (usually) integrally cast copper-alloy shank, often pierced at the distal end. Type 2 studs are primarily thought to have been used as fittings for boxes and chests, including for attaching decorative panels and lock-plates; Type 1 were multipurpose, with a variety of functions.

NMS-3C59A3: FINGER RING
Description: Silver snake's head terminal from a Roman penannular finger-ring. It is oval and plano-convex, with the decoration all on one face; the reverse is undecorated and slightly curved to fit around the finger. The design of the snake's head has probably been stamped into the silver (or into a mould for casting the silver), as there is a narrow undecorated rim along part of one edge where the die has been applied off centre. The rest of the edge is formed from a beaded border to the head. Within this border is a solid domed area with unclear lengthways ridges; these probably include (in Johns's terminology) two long skull mouldings and three nasal ridges. At the back of the head, where it joins the body, is a plain raised V shape pointing towards the nose; beyond this, the hoop is broken. The stub of the hoop at the unworn break is 4mm wide, and the hoop appears to have been a low D shape in cross-section. Dimensions: Total length 11.6mm. Width 7.7mm. Thickness 2.1mm. Discussion: Johns (1997, 35-37 and 38-9) has divided both snake-rings and snake-head terminals into several types. With only one terminal, a ring type cannot be assigned, and the details of the head (especially the V at the back) are not closely matched among the Snettisham rings either. On the PAS database, compare NMS-8F0621 and BERK-70E428, etc. Date: This type of ring is Roman, and was in use during the first and second centuries AD.

NMGW-F21711: FINGER RING
A complete forged copper alloy spiral finger ring of probable Iron Age to Roman date (c. 200BC-AD 410). The ring is of Guiraud Type 7 (Guiraud 1989, 195-6). The ring is made from a forged bar of copper alloy 4.3- 4.8mm diameter wrapped around to form a ring, completing two full turns. The section of the bar is circular. The internal diameter of the ring is variable with a maximum of 22.1mm. The inner surface has a central seam stretching its length and visible in the terminal sections as a result of the forging process. The ring has a glossy smooth olive green to dark brown patina on its surviving original surface. This original surface is very fragile and actively in decay, leaving with some areas of missing surface revealing blue, green or white corrosion products. The ring is of a type that is known from the middle Bronze Age through to the Roman period with little distinction in form. Stead (1993) records a small finger ring from Iron Age Grave R183 in Rudston, Yorkshire, though with small terminal mouldings. Crummy (1981) records several coiled finger rings from Colchester and assigns them an “early” date. Coiled finger rings, though examples with flattened, decorated hoop middles, were recovered from the Iron Age hut “C” on Mynydd Bychan, Llysworney (Savory, 1956). Diameter: 32.1mm Width: 14.5mm Weighght: 25.64g

WMID-862068: BROOCH
An incomplete Roman copper alloy trumpet brooch dating from 75 to 175 AD. Only the foot and catchplate survive, including the attached section of the bow. The remainder of the catchplate is 15.5mm in length, though it has been broken at the end furthest from the foot, and it is 2.5mm in thickness. The surviving section of the bow features semi-symmetrical decoration which looks like two leaf-shaped forms on each side pointing towards the centre, similar to the design featured on the Mackreth 2011 Trumpet Type 1.x7., Plate 83, no. 5281. The brooch differs from this type in the bottom of the bow, which is closer to that shown on Type 1.x3., Plate 83, no. 5254, although this brooch has a double rather than a single collar. The foot is bulbous in shape and has a green patina around much of its circumference, which can also be found at the point of the break at the opposite end of the piece. The rest of the remaining brooch is of a brown patina, save for areas of silver inlay on each side of the catchplate.

SWYOR-C7BE59: VESSEL
A rim sherd of a ceramic vessel, probably Black Burnished ware of Roman date, AD 43 - 410. It is a rim sherd from a bowl with a dropped flange. The fabric is relatively fine grained, hard and dark grey throughout. It has a very dark grey slip on the exterior surface although the interior has been left plain and coarse. There are sub-rounded to sub-angular translucent quartz inclusions. The flange is dropped below the pointed rim. Measurements are; length 48.6mm, height 31.4mm, thickness 20.1mm and weight 18.20g. The internal rim diameter is about 160mm, estimated from less than 10% of the rim perimeter.

SWYOR-C88BBC: GAMING PIECE
A stone possible gaming piece of possible Roman date, AD 43 - 410. The object is formed from a very smooth circular pebble, identified by the finder as Cornish greenstone. The pebble has two shallowly convex faces and rounded sides. It would have functioned well as a counter or gaming piece. It may have been naturally formed but collected for use as a playing piece. Measurements are; diameter 24.3mm, thickness 7.5mm and weight 6.74g. The stone is dark brown, fine grained and smooth, but with a slightly pitted surface under magnification. There appears to be a high quartz content. Compare SWYOR-357567, GLO-88A182, KENT-E53F42, NLM-C1BC64 and NLM-63092B. GLO-88A182 discusses similar examples in glass rom Roman contexts. See Crummy (1997) for further details: Crummy, P, 1997, City of Victory: Story of Colchester - Britain's First Roman Town, Colchester Archaeological Trust. KENT-E53F42 argues that "Dating of such simple and plain pieces made of stone are difficult to date and examples are known from Roman sites all the way through to World War I trenches thus a wide date is given here. Such pieces would have been used in a wide range of games such boardgames like chequers and nine man's morris where they'd have been player pierces or in games of betting or chance where they'd be betting tokens."

SWYOR-C8D4AA: VESSEL
A lead pot mend and a fragment of the ceramic vessel, of probable Roman date, AD 43 - 410. The mend is two discs of lead, one large and oval and one smaller and nearly square. They are joined by a short stem (making the mend H shaped in cross-section) through a hole in the ceramic vessel. Some of the ceramic fabric survives. It appears to be a greyware with frequent quartz inclusions, suggesting a Roman date. Measurements are; length 28.3mm, width 24.2mm, thickness 9.9mm and weight 22.87g.

YORYM-915C6B: FINGER RING
An incomplete coper-alloy snake head finger ring of Roman date, c.AD 43-200. The finger ring is in two pieces; the hoop and one terminal – a second terminal is lost to a worn break. The surviving snake head terminal is pointed ovate with a D-shaped section, tapering to an integral ovate sectioned hoop to one side. The hoop terminates in a worn break. The upper surface is decorated with moulded detail featuring raised pointed ovate eyes flanking an elongated raised ridges nose. The head is bordered by transverse ridges. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The hoop is formed of a rectangular strip of metal, curved to form a loop, which narrows to the terminal ends which are both broken. The exterior surface of the hoop bears incised decoration in the form of repeated chevrons. The interior of the hoop is undecorated. The metal has a dark green patina and is in good condition. The hoop is 24.6mm in diameter, 5.6mm wide, 0.8mm thick. The terminal is 16.7mm long, 6.9mm wide, 2.1mm thick. The objects weighs 2.8g. A similar, though silver, object is recorded as 2022 T1017 (SUSS-FC3136) from near Tangmere, Sussex which discusses the snake headed ring as forming part of a fashion for ‘serpentiform’ jewellery introduced to Britain during the 1st century AD (Johns 1996, 44). The snake depicted on rings of this type was associated with Asclepius, god of healing and became fashionable during the 2nd century (Cool 2010, 33). The snake could also be associated with Mercury and can be interpreted as symbolic of both rebirth and death since the snake often features in funerary contexts; rings of this type have been included in mid second century jewellery hoards, such as the Snettisham hoard and interpreted as an indigenous production (Cool 2000).

NARC-93B3E5: FINGER RING
An incomplete copper alloy finger Ring of Roman date (AD 200-300). Henig Type VIII. The object is composed of a distorted oval profile and rectangular sectioned band, with a raised central ovate bezel, partially missing and now without its intaglio. The shoulders are keeled and the band tapers in toward the lower portion. The shoulders are decorated with an incised chevron flanking the bezel, forming a lozenge in plan. And repeating short transverse lines on the outer edges of the shoulders, and a transverse, double collar at the lower end of the shoulder before the band tapers inward. The inner surface of the band is undecorated. Height: 21.40mm, Width: 24.90mm, Thickness (inc bezel): 5.62mm, Thickness (band): 2.34mm, Weight: 8.3g The metal is dark green in colour with a slightly pitted patina. Guiraud (1989) classifies this type of finger ring as Type 3p. Type 3p (Guiraud) has a bezel placed above the line of the ring, breaking the line, and with distinct shoulders. Often these are concave or cutaway shoulders, although type 3 also includes ‘keeled’ rings (with angles as the widest part of the hoop) where the bezel is raised. Henig’s equivalent type is perhaps the type VIII, which appears to include ‘keeled’ rings and those with concave or cutaway shoulders. Guiraud dates type 3 rings to the end of the 2nd and first three-quarters of the 3rd century (1989, 185) and Henig dates Type VIII to the 3rd century (2007, 13).

YORYM-BCB111: FINGER RING
TREASURE CASE : 2023 T661. Description: An incomplete possible silver finger ring of Roman date, c.AD 43 - 300. Henig type II; Guiraud's type 2. The hoop of the finger ring is ovate in form and section. An ovate recessed bezel is present to the widest part of the hoop and the shoulders taper away from the bezel. The bezel is empty. Dimensions: Length: 22.4mm; Width: 11.5mm; Thickness: 3.9mm; Weight: 7.2g. Discussion: The finger ring fits into Guiraud's type 2 (Henig type II), which dates from the 1st to early 3rd centuries. These are a very common type of Roman finger ring of which NMS-E9B616 (2020 T370) is a typical example. The record notes that over 20 were found in the Snettisham jeweller's hoard. Conclusion: In terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
