Hi All,

Has anyone got any firm research on how the Romano-British small animal
brooches were worn? Were they purely ornamental, as we would wear a brooch
these days, or were they also used, say, to hold a couple of folds of
clothing together? I want to buy some, but want to wear them properly.
Nothing I've seen (even in Allason-Jones' Women in Roman Britain, and in
museum books where they've gone into the construction in great depth) has
any details on how they were worn.

Ta,

Glenda.
