Description: | A copper-alloy pin of Roman date. This form of pin is very common in the Roman period and there are several parallels recorded on the PAS database.
The head has a flat, sub-oval upper surface and vertical outer sides. At the top of the integrally-cast shaft are two transverse grooves, one either side of a plain band. The slightly curved shaft is of circular section and tapers to a point.
The artefact has a light green patina and is corroded in places. It measures 42.9mm long, 6.4mm wide and weighs 2.56g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
