Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Roman pin. The remains of the pinhead show a conical point with a tiny flattened disc like knop, with a deep groove beneath. The shaft is circular in section. It is broken along its length with a horizontal break. The pin is worn with much of the original surface missing. It now has a light green, chalky patina. Break edges are worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The pin has an overall length of 28.14mm, is 1.96mm in diameter and weighs 0.53g. Crummy, 1983, illustrates a similar pin in figure 31, under 'miscellaneous'.
