Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman pin. Cast in one piece, this pin has a faceted, cuboid head, each side having a central lozenge facet.Extending from this is the integrally moulded shaft which is circular in section. At the end of the remaining shaft is a flattened, square section, which has a damaged edge, suggesting that the shaft continued on in some form. The pin is now heavily bent, but has a length of 47mm. The head is 10.18mm long, 8.86mm wide and the shaft has a diameter of 3.56mm. It weighs 9.01g. Faceted pins can be seen in Crummy, 1981, Roman small finds from Excavations in Colchester 1971-9, figure 29.
