Description: | Incomplete copper-alloy Roman pin, Cool group 2. The pin has a globular head with a single cordon or collar beneath. The circular sectioned shank is truncated and only survives for 4.7mm. The original surface survives with a dark green patina. The break edge is worn suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The pin is 10.34mm long in total. The pinhead is 5.84mm in diameter. The shank is 2.5mm thick. The object weighs 0.79g. Cool (1990, Roman metal hair pins from southern Britain in the Archaeological Journal, volume 147, page 154) explains that this form of pin is found throughout the Roman period.
