Title: A couple of finds for ID Post by: Rob Two Spades on April 19, 2017, 05:56:16 PM I've had a lot of Roman brooches but nothing like this one. Any ideas or references for the type? Its 4cm long.
The hammie looks like a King John? Title: Re: A couple of finds for ID Post by: celticspikey on April 19, 2017, 06:46:16 PM The brooch is a Roman Knee 2 nd cent AD. These were favoured by the Roman military. ;) I've seen a few knee brooches but not like yours. ;)
