Description: | A Roman copper-alloy pin with a grooved sub-spherical head perhaps dating from the early imperial period. The head is made of a broadly spherical knob with a concave base below featuring four steps (L.: 9.8mm, W.: 8.75mm, Th.: 8.9mm). The upper part of the head is decorated with grooving: a central cross with two or three diagonal grooves in each quarter. Below this is a circumferential groove with the first of the stepped ridges below. There is a slight swelling around two thirds of the way down the shaft from the head. The tip has been bent through ninety degrees. It is best classified as an example of Cool??s (1990, 164) Type 13. The only dated example from this group was found in a 2nd-century context. | Subjects: | Cool Group 13 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
