Title
Roman brooch: Penannular brooch
Description
English:

An incomplete cast copper alloy penannular brooch of Roman or early Anglo-Saxon date. The brooch is formed from a circular-sectioned rod which has been flattened at the terminals, which have then been bent back over themselves. The terminals have moulded decoration consisting of ribbing either side of an indent or recess in the bar. The appearance is vaguely zoomorphic. No pin survives; the pin may have been very long in comparison to the size of the brooch. The brooch is similar to form to Fowler's Type D, which is broadly dated to the late Roman period (c. AD 300-500). However comparison to other objects from the area, and the patina, suggests a Late Iron Age / early Roman date.
