Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Roman pin. The remains of the pinhead show a conical point, now broken and flattened across the top, with a deep groove beneath. The shaft is circular in section. It is broken along its length with an horizontal break. The pin is worn but much of the original surface survives with a mid green patina with some small patches of bright green corrosion. Break edges are worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The pin has an overall length of 33.98mm, is 2mm in diameter and weighs 0.50g. Crummy, 1983, illustrates what may be a similar pin in figure 31, under ‘miscellaneous’. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
