Description: | A copper-alloy pin head. The pin head is sub-spherical and measures around 7 mm in diameter. It has been broken off from the rest of the pin. This break does not appear to be modern. On one side of the pin is a slight groove, just above where the pin head begins to narrow towards the pin. It is likely that this groove represents damage as opposed to decoration. Similar examples are given by Crummy in the Colchester Archaeological Report, 1983, and are cited as being in use throughout the Roman period.
