Roman Trumpet brooch, c. 75 - 175 AD. Incomplete, only the flared 'trumpet' head and upper portion of the bow remains, including the decorative mid-bow triple flange with acanthus pattern typical of this class of brooches, extending all the way around the bow. While the spring mechanism is missing, there remains a semi-circular lug on the back of the head that would have held the spring in place; this has been bent to the side. More damage is apparent on the head as a small strip has been torn from the bottom of the head and bent upwards. Still faintly visible on the head is a curvili…

Copper-alloy Roman trumpet brooch, c. 75 - 175 AD. The brooch is mostly complete, missing only the lower portion of its pin. The pin is attached to an axis bar behind the head which also holds the spring mechanism. The spring is held in place by a lug and the end of the spring wire curves beneath the axis bar. The head of the brooch is the flared 'trumpet' shape characteristic of this type, curving back downwards from the bow of the brooch with the spring mechanism hidden behind it. There is a large knob towards the middle of the bow, which is decorated in a simple linear style with g…

Copper-alloy Roman trumpet brooch, c. 75 - 175 AD. The brooch is complete and in good repair apart from damage to the bottom of the brooch that has bent the bottom of the bow as well as the pin upwards. In addition, corrosion of the copper-alloy has created a pale-green patina, although shiny smooth patches on the head of the brooch betray the original patina. The head of the brooch is the flared 'trumpet' shape characteristic of this brooch type, curving backwards from the bow. Behind the head is nestled the spring mechanism, attached to the head by a circular lug and comprising of a…

Copper-alloy wire chain loop from Roman brooch, with loop clip (c. 75 - 200 AD). The bottom sections of the chain loop, which would have run through a spring, are missing. It is difficult to date or categorise this fragment with certainty, but chain loops such as these were a feature on Trumpet brooches (75 - 175 AD) and Headstud brooches (75 - 200 AD) which gives a wide date range and an indication of the type of brooch from which this wire chain loop came. The loop has a dark brown patina with greenish brown patches due to corrosion of the copper-alloy. Length: 20.09mm Width: 20.…

Fragment and pin of Roman aucissa brooch, no longer attached. Pin is in good condition with a pierced triangular lug at the head. The fragment comes from the head of the brooch. At the top, the head is rolled over to form two cylinders which would have encased the bar axis. There is a gap between the two where the pin would have been attached, comprising the hinge mechanism. Part of the bar axis remains in one cylinder, although it is missing an end knob; on the other side, the tubular casing has been torn and unravelled so that it remains attached on one end only and the copper alloy…

Fragment of Roman copper-alloy brooch. The fragment is corroded which has obscured much of the detail and resulted in a blue-green patina. On the reverse of the fragment is a pierced lug which protrudes at a right angle from the brooch fragment; the top section of this is missing. The obverse of the brooch fragment betrays decorative detail formed of circular and curvilinear motifs, but the design is largely obscured by corrosion. The fragment is too damaged to state for sure what type of brooch this came from, but the relative size of the decorated front section in relation to the lu…
