Description: | A copper-alloy Roman hairpin of Cool Group 8, pins of this group have heads which consist of two hemispheres seperated by two cordons, as does this example. The head measures 16mm in length and 6.7mm in width, across the widest upper rounded part, which has a flattened top. The shaft is incomplete as it is missing its tip due to an old break. It has a circular cross-section and measures 48mm in length and 3mm in width. Similar pins have been found form Colchester, Lakenheath, London and Verulanium, one example from Colchester was from a dated context of late first and second century (Cool 1990 159-160, fig 6 1-4).
