Brooch

This enamelled bronze brooch was found at the site of the Roman outpost fort at Strageath in Perthshire. It was probably made in the north-west provinces of the Roman empire.

Two of the four projecting knobs on this plate brooch are incomplete.

The Roman army obtained supplies from three zones: locally (either by the army or natives), within the Roman province of Britannia, or further afield in the Roman empire.
