A Roman Claudian Period Bronze Cloak Brooch.

A very rare to find Roman military bronze eye style cloak brooch.

This item which dates to the first part of the 1st century AD, is from the Claudian period and likely 
to have come over with the Roman army when they invaded England in 43 AD.

A typical military piece of good solid construction and still retaining its original fastening pin...

A lovely patination to the bronze .

Dorset excavations in 1969.

Size 6.5 CM in Length.

As with all of my antiquities and coins this item comes complete with a display box together with a certificate of authenticity.
