I found this Roman Brooch & wonder whether it's a Bird or a Fly!

Your thoughts please Doc?

Botty I would say its a bird fella , similar design below , where I would say that the bird in the picture below would signify a dove, the bird in yours with the hooked 'hawk like' beak would signify a Bird of prey'   possibly a military or Hunters brooch ?

Thanks for the I.D Rob, do you reckon the head is broken?

It doesn't look it to me but as you say possibly a hooked beak!

Cheers mate  Smiley
