Title
Roman brooch: Hod Hill or Aucissa (three views)
Description
English: Fragment of a copper-alloy Roman brooch, either an Aucissa or Hod Hill type. Part of the bow survives, with worn breaks at either end and down the sides. It is uncertain which way up the fragment should be held.

At one end there is a hint of a transverse ridge, then a wide transverse groove and then a bold raised rectangular transverse moulding. Beyond this is a further wide transverse U-section groove. This decoration of transverse mouldings and grooves is confined to one end of the bow. Beyond, the main part of the bow has longitudinal decoration of a central bold ridge flanked by U-section grooves and then outer ridges, much of which are missing. At this end the fragment tapers to a point, which may indicate that this is the bottom of the fragment.

More complete parallels on the PAS database include NMGW-F76BDE, WILT-F15251 and IOW-65A001. Some of these have the transverse decoration above the longitudinal decoration, some below. WILT-60A7E3 has it in both places.

Parallels in Bayley and Butcher 2004 include nos. 74 and 75 (Aucissa brooches) and nos. 95 and 99 (Hod Hill brooches). Both types date to the earliest years of the Roman conquest, c. 43-c. 70 AD (Bayley and Butcher 2004, pp. 151 and 153).
