Abstract:

The Carmarthen brooch, datable not later than c AD 50 and perhaps as carly as c 25 is a direct two-piece successor to the pre-Roman, one-piece Aylesford type, now known to be considerably later in date than used to be thought. The two-piece construction, which characterises the entire British trumpet-brooch series, was adopted when the bow was given a massive form to accommodate Late Celtic relief decoration. Developments from the Carmarthen brooch include Collingwood's Rii class and part of Ri, and a northern English group with enamel and exaggerated moulding became prominent. Polychrome examples of Antonine date are found along the Rhine. Au(abr)
