A Roman brooch from AD 100–160 is about to go on display at the National Museum of Scotland. It was uncovered near Pathhead in Lothian and stands out as a well‑made piece from the Roman era.

What makes it notable is the mix of influences in its design. Even though it was found in Scotland, specialists believe it was produced in northern England, which points to regular movement of goods and styles across the frontier. Its look blends Roman techniques with local artistic elements, showing how people living at the edge of the empire combined different cultural traditions.
