Description: | Copper alloy terminal from a Roman object. This terminal has a faceted cuboid head, with the lozenge shaped faces being plain. It is 10.72mm high and 10.12mm wide. From the head extends a purposely curved shaft that is circular in section. This is broken 12.8mm along its length, with the break being worn smooth suggesting it occurred in antiquity. The object weighs 6.43g. The patina of the object is an even dark green. The heavy and robust nature of this object, and the purposely curved shaft suggests against this being a pin head that has become bent. Though this is clearly a terminal, it is not known what object it may have been attached to. Given the cuboid faceted head it probably dates to the 4th century.
