Title
Roman brooch: Zoomorphic plate brooch
Description
English: A cast cooper alloy Roman zoomorphic plate brooch in the form of a fly. Mackreth 2011,Chapter 7, Part 3, OBJECT, Type 6.a. Pl. 127. The brooch has a trumpet-style head (with broken loop) which forms the rear-end of the fly; the bow is in the shape of two sub-triangular wings of enamelled cells with probable white enamel within. The foot of the brooch is the fly's head, with two bulbous knops with moulded slits for eyes. On the underside of the brooch there is a coiled spring on a bar with about two thirds of the pin intact. The surface has a mottled green patina with some soil remaining in situ. For a similar example see ESS-F48852 (and others) on this database. An identical example is illustrated in Mackreth (2011 plate 127 no. 8110) and was recovered from levels at Caerleon that were dated to AD 160-230 (ibid. p185). Other examples also date from the mid-second century AD.
