Description: | A copper-alloy Roman pin measuring 31.6mm in length. The head of this pin is globular, measuring 7.2mm in thickness and 9.2mm in diameter. The shaft has a circular section and is 25.0mm in length; it tapers to a point having been 2.5mm in diameter just below the head. The pin is worn, undecorated and has had its shaft bent out of alignment at the pointed end. 'Pins' of similar dimensions have been discovered in excavations at Colchester and they have been interpreted as being associated with furniture upholstery (Crummy 1983, 115). Interestingly, similar pins have been found in the same field within a radius of less than 14m (NARC-609D17 and NARC-609625).
