Broad period: ROMAN
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast iron brooch dating to the Roman period, (45-410AD). The brooch is highly corroded and therefore not much detail can be seen. The head appears to be flat and the bow arches outwards. It is curved in profile. Due to its arched bow it is possible that the brooch is a dolphin type of brooch which dates from 43-65AD. However it is also possible that the corrosion is distorting the shape causing it to appear more curved than it is. It is in very poor condition.
