Title
Roman: Horse and rider brooch
Description
English: A Roman copper alloy plate brooch of horse and rider type. The brooch, which is crudely modelled and somewhat worn, has two cells containing red enamel; the central cell is empty.

Bayley and Butcher (2004, 175) note that the quality of this design of brooch is variable (see Hattatt 2000, 359; fig. 218). They state that there are strong indications of a religious connection with this brooch type, with significant quantities being found at temple sites (ibid., 175-176). Catherine Johns (1996, 173-174) suggests that these brooches may depict a Romano-Celtic rider god (perhaps Mars conflated with a local deity), and may have been bought from shrines as the Roman equivalent of medieval pilgrim badges. DF Mackreth (2011, 181-182) also says these brooches are related to a cult and that there were two centres: Somerset-Wiltshire (temple site Cold Kitchen Hill, Brixton Deverill) and Suffolk-Norfolk-Cambridgeshire (shrine at Hockwold-cum-Wilton).
