Disc brooch with central cone, hollow at the back, with a boss-and-ring stud in the centre. The edge is raised with nodules set at regular intervals. Most of the spring pin survives. Riha (1979, type7.11) dates the form to the 1st - early 2nd century AD whilst Ettlinger (1973 Taf 15, No 10, type 50) suggests that production began in the first half of the 2nd century. A simplified example is known from the amphitheatre at Caerleon (Wheeler and Wheeler 1928, Fig 14, No. 20) and one of the same type but with stylistic differences is known from a Flavian grave at Winchester (Biddle 1967, 229, Fig 4 No 14) Condition: much of one side of the brooch is missing.
