Title
Roman brooch: Polden Hill type (plan, profile and reverse).
Description
English: Roman brooch of Colchester derivative, Polden Hill (Mackreth 2011, Chap. 3, Part 3, Group 4b, Plate 46, AD c. 75-400. The copper alloy brooch has semi-cylindrical undecorated wings with perforated wing caps. The axis bar and spring are incomplete and the pin is missing. At the centre of the upper edge of the wings there is the trace of an integral hook. The bowhead is hump-like in profile and is undecorated. There are slight mouldings on the side of the bow head. The bow is D-shaped in section and tapers to a broken terminal. The break is not too recent.

The surface of the brooch has an incomplete light green patina.

It measures 23.44mm in length, 21.43mm in width, and weighs 8.08g.

Mackreth classifies this type as Group 4b dating to late 1st to 4th century and they are distributed from Derbyshire down to Gloucestershire. Plate 46, No. 1897 is very similar.
