This enamelled bronze brooch was found at the site of the Roman fort at Camelon in Stirlingshire. The brooch dates from between 80 and 165 AD.

The small disc brooch has concentric bands of enamelled decoration. It is damaged around the edges.

The use of enamel decoration was popular among native people in Scotland and northern Britain for prestigious objects, and was even adopted for some Roman objects. The glass used was recycled from imported objects or scrap material.
