Description: | A copper alloy pin which is probably Roman in date. The pin is 47.9mm long and the head has a diameter of 12.7mm. The head is sub-spherical with a ridge round the median but is unusual because it has a groove across the top of the head. This is patinated and appears to be original, though it is possible that it is later damage. The shaft is circular in section and is thick and sturdy. The end is an old break. The chunkiness of this pin suggests a Roman date though no close parallels have been found. Other substantial pins on the database of Roman date include SF-5A64A3 and SUR-8AE2E0. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
