Description: | A copper alloy stud which is probably Roman. The stud is circular in section and has a diameter of 26.7mm at the widest end. It is 21.3mm long. One end of the stud is decorated. It has a central pointed dome surrounded by a raised ring, then a concave area with another ring, incised this time, near the edge. This end of the cylindrical stud is also wider than the rest of the object, which tapers towards the other end. There is an incised ring round the circumference of the stud about one third of the way from the wider end. The narrower end is not decorated and would have had an iron shank projecting from its centre. Only ferrous corrosion survives to indicate this. The stud appears to be almost identical to one found at Castleford which dates from the late first century (number 239 in Roman Castleford Volume I, 1998, eds: Cool and Philo). The stud is in good condition, but one edge is damaged. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
