Abstract: | [NY 7066]. Discussion of the confused evidence for the finding of the guard-chamber hoard, and of each item individually, with new photographs. The gilt-bronze brooch is almost certainly the product of a Celtic workshop in N England c AD 70/80 and stems from the Continental thistle-brooch. The large silver trumpet-brooch, 18.5cm long, was probably locally commissioned by a soldier of east European origin. The silver chain-collar is likewise a fusion of Roman and native styles. The child's silver bracelet and some rings complete the hoard, whose deposition probably dates to Allectus' withdrawal of the garrison in 296. | ||
