A dragonesque brooch found at Wroxeter Roman City in 1914. This form is typically Romano-British, inspired by Celtic Iron Age art. Dragonesque brooches first appeared after Roman conquest in AD43. Popular late-1st to early-2nd century AD. Copper-alloy with enamel.

The Golden Horns from Gallehus, Denmark. These are copies of the two originals which were decorated with human & animal figures, dated c. AD400. In 1802, they were famously stolen and melted down. Two sets of replicas are based on 17th & 18th century drawings of the originals.

Just seen @Durotrigesdig tweet about reconstruction drawings. The info board at Caesar’s Camp has this one of the eastern entrance.
