Abstract

The article discusses the discovery of a rare Roman dragonesque brooch in Yorkshire. The brooch, dating back to AD 75-175, is believed to have been created for Romanized Britons to celebrate their Celtic roots. The brooch is typically found broken, making this intact find remarkable. The article also mentions the discovery of a grooved copper strip on Ainsdale beach, which was later identified as a component of a 3.7-inch AA gun shell used during World War II. The author reflects on the historical significance of such finds and the impact they had during a violent period of history. [Extracted from the article]
