Description: | Incomplete roman cast copper alloy pin. The head is domed with a flat bottom and curved top; it is 15.9mm in diameter and 6.5mm thick. The top is decorated with a cross made of two wide grooves running from edge to edge, each arm has incised lines to either side and in the quarters are indented pellets. Just below the head the shaft is decorated with two thin transverse ribs, then a wider transverse rib then two more thin ribs. Below this the shaft appears to be tapering with four slight facets. It is broken due to an old break and is 15.7mm long, 5.3mm in diameter at the widest point and 3.9mm in diameter where it breaks.The pin appears similar to Cool's group 6 (Cool 1990 157, fig 5:3, no 8) which she dates to the mid 1st to late 2nd centuries AD. The large head suggest use as a dress rather than hair pin.
