Cast copper alloy Roman penannular brooch, a Fowler Type A3, dating to c.100- 350 AD. The brooch itself is complete, although the pin is broken. The brooch has been squashed out of shape, probably whilst in the ground. It has golbular terminals, each with a single moulded collar. One of the terminals appears to have an extra bit of metal, it could be a mis-cast which was not cleaned up. The pin was formed by a strip of wire folded over the brooch, the loop remains but it has broken before it extends to the pin. Mackreth (2011) Brooches in Late Iron Age and Roman Britain : vo…

Button and loop fastener or strap terminal Cast copper alloy button and loop fastener or strap terminal. This fitting has a flat semi-circular 'button', with triangular central hole. This gives the impression of a rectangular panel along the base, with two angled leaf-shaped mouldings above it, forming the curve of the semi-circle. The loop (cast in one piece with the 'button') projects backwards from the rear of the semicircular plate, the shank starting from a point just above the triangular void. The loop is at an angle of around 30° to the 'button', in the same plane. The bot…

Copper alloy head of a Roman trumpet brooch, dating to c. 75- 175 AD. It is a large, and slightly unusual variety and unfortunately is quite corroded. It is a sprung type, with huge coils, four complete and two which are broken. The wire then threads through the coils. The central broken coil would have extended to the pin but that is now gone. The wire also runs below the spring, connected to both ends. The head almost immediately narrows away from the spring, which extends above the head. It is sub-traingular in plan, the broken end showing the bow would have had a circular cros…

Cast copper alloy Early Roman button and loop fastener. Tear-drop headed, dating to c. 50 -150 AD (according to Wild's typology, 1970). It is a slightly unusual type with a solid foot rather than a loop. The head is tear-drop shaped with a raised circular boss in the widest section. This appears to have enamel on originally and some traces of red (?) remain but the pattern is unclear. It appears to have been a central lozenge (of a dark colour) with four small ovals of red enamel around the outside. The foot projects from the base of the head, turning 90 degrees and widening, with…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast lead possible Roman weight. It is cylindrical, with a central iron core, which would have become a loop, but has now broken. Roman steelyward weights are usually biconical, not cylindrical but this example does have the iron core like the Roman ones, so it is possible it is Roman rather than Post Medieval.

Fragment of a copper alloy Roman headstud brooch, dating to c. 75- 175 AD. Only the top of the bow and part of the head remains.

The bow is rectangular in section, narrowing towards the foot, but it has broken just below the headstud. The headstud is a raised circular b…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN

Copper alloy ring, probably a finger ring, Roman in date. It is formed by a thick, circular cross-sectioned copper aloly wire being curled round into two rows with slightly rounded terminals. Both terminals also have cross-hatched decoration, similar to the more delicate copper and silver Roman snake finger rings. Although this seems very large for a finge ring, there are some similar examples on the PAS database. A similar ring formed from a single turn can be seen in Lindsay Allason-Jones and Roger Miket's 'Catalogue of small finds from South Shields Roman fort,' 1984: pp 125-…
