Innumerable Romano-British copper-alloy bow brooches have been found throughout Britain; indeed, after coins the brooch is generally the commonest ‘datable’ metal artefact on the majority of first- and second-century Roman sites. An enormous amount of work has already been carried out by specialists such as M.R. Hull and D.F. Mackreth on the development arid typology of the bow brooch: this article goes no further than merely suggesting another aspect of brooch study that may repay further investigation.
