Description: | Copper-alloy pin, complete but very corroded. Oval-section conical head, 4.5 x 5.5 mm, with a flat top which tapers down towards the shaft. There are traces of possible incised lines around the head, which is c. 13 mm long. The shaft does not taper until just above the point; it is 2.5 mm in diameter, and is sharply bent (causing no apparent stress to the metal) about halfway down its length. Total original length c. 100 mm. There is little to help us date this pin, but Roman pin shafts are often deliberately bent and it may be of this date.
