Description: | A near complete copper alloy pin, possibly a hair pin, of Roman date. The head of the pin is formed by a small transverse groove around the shaft, above which the head tapers before widening again to a small knop that is now partly missing due to old breaks. The shaft of the pin measures 2.16mm at its widest point at the terminal end, is slightly bent, and gradually tapers towards a point, the very tip of which is missing due to an old break. The pin measures 99.05mm in length and weighs 1.97g. A near identical example was excavated at Colchester and dated to the late third century AD (Crummy, 1983: pp. 31, no. 508). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
