Description: | Complete, cast copper alloy mount or stud, probably Roman. The head of the stud is circular in plan and trapezoidal in section, having a flattened top with a bevelled edge that is slightly stepped. Otherwise the object is plain. It has a diameter of 23.74mm and is 9.8mm high. The circular shaft of the stud is exceptionally thick with a diameter of 14.68mm. It is 14.86mm long, giving the object an over all length of 24.66mm. It weighs 37.52g. The object is abraded, but the original surface survives with a dark green patina. Exposed surfaces are lighter green. No parallel could be found for the object, though a less robust stud with a similarly shaped head (though with rectangular shaft) can be seen in Allason-Jones and Miket, 1984, The Catalogue of small finds from South Shields Roman fort, number 3.949. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
