Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman pin, probably Crummy type 5. The pin head has a flattened spherical head which is 3.86mm in diameter. The pin is abraded so it is impossible to tell whether there are grooves beneath the head. The shaft is circular in section and does not taper, it now has a slight bend. It is broken along its length with an L shaped break. Almost the entire original surface is missing and the object has a patchy dark and light green patina. The break point is similarly patinated and worn suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The pin has an overall length of 51.64mm and weighs 1.09g. Pins of thi stype date to the 2nd century. See Crummy, 1983, figure 30 for examples.
