Description: | Complete cast copper alloy Roman lock pin. This lock pin has a rectangular shaft that is rectangular in section. There is a circular perforation, slightly off set from centre, at one end of the shaft. The pin ends with an integral terminal, probably meant to represent an acorn. It is formed from a disc, transverse to the shaft, from which extends a solid dome. The terminal is undecorated, as is the rest of the lock pin. The object has an even mid green patina with patches of brighter green corrosion product. It is slightly abraded and dented in places. The lock pin is 54.82mm long, of which 39.78mm is the shaft. The shaft is 10.46mm wide and 2.92mm thick. The terminal has a diameter of 17.66mm across the disc and 14.54mm across the dome portion. The object weighs 22.30g. Examples of other forms of lock pins can be seen in Crummy, 1983, figure 137.
