Title: Is this my first Roman Brooch
Post by: 150aceboy on September 21, 2015, 08:06:20 PM
Found this yesterday, my first thoughts were a roman brooch, could anyone confirm this, and if it is a brooch, could you please help to ID what type and possible date please.
Thanks for your time Paul  ;)

Gosh what a lovely find. I have a feeling it's Anglo Saxon, but I await those who are better informed than I.

Lovely find indeed, one for the FLO, for sure
