Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman pin of Crummy type 2 (1983, The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9, figure 27). The pinhead is small and spherical with a collar beneath. Beneath this the pin heads swells out and then ends in a further collar, typical of ??bead and reel?? decoration. The lower collar has a narrow transverse groove. The circular sectioned shank is truncated but tapers towards its now missing point. The shank is now slightly bent. The surface of the pin is pitted, so that the tiny patches of original surface survive with a mid green patina and exposed surfaces are lighter green. The pin is 42.8mm long, of which 16.6mm is the pin head. The shank is 1.9mm thick. The object weighs 2.7g. It dates from the 2nd to 3rd centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
