Description: | A large fragment of a copper-alloy pin(?) with a globular head, probably Roman. The head is undecorated. The remaining part of the shaft gradually widens out so that the lower part is wider than the part immediately beneath the head. The lower portion of the pin is missing. It is 22.2mm in length; the head of the pin is 7.3mm in diameter and the shaft 4.2mm at the widest point. It weighs 2.5gm. ??Hipped?? pins are discussed in Geake 2001 and can be late Roman or Early Medieval in date. A Roman date is more likely judging by other finds from this area. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
