Title: Roman Brooch Post by: celticspikey on April 08, 2018, 08:15:56 AM Hi guys I had a few hours spare this week so I managed a couple of short trips. This came up on the first search.
Plate brooch of the 2nd-3rd century, enamelled and although the centre is missing its stone it has still got the pin attached in place which for these is unusual and very welcome........ ;) Title: Re: Roman Brooch Post by: Val Beechey on April 08, 2018, 08:39:00 AM Very very nice Paul, lovely find.

Title: Re: Roman Brooch Post by: probono on April 08, 2018, 10:51:41 AM Nice one - I had a short time about 5 years ago where I found a number of plate brooches - the last one was like this (again with missing central stone), but gilded instead of enamelled. I keep asking the farmer if he'll plough the field, but he hasn't done yet :)
Title: Re: Roman Brooch Post by: celticspikey on April 08, 2018, 06:12:17 PM Thanks guys. ;) Keep asking one of my farms Roland to plough, it's been 8 years now just cultivating :'(
