Description: | Incomplete copper alloy conical headed finial with a slightly collared base and broken circular sectioned shank below. A similar object was found at Caerleon and is discussed in Evans (2000, p373) along with references to others from other fort sites at Cramond and Chester. Although the latter are published as plumb bobs, none appear to be pierced by a hole to attach a cord in such a way as to give a true vertical drop. The Caerleon example is thought to have been a piece of Roman military equipment, perhaps a finial from lorica segmentata.
