Description: | Roman stud with copper alloy globular head and stump of iron shank. The head is spherical but drawn out to meet the iron shank, the exact way these two elements are joined is obscured by corrosion. From the weight the head appears solid and is 14.9mm in diameter. There are the corroded remains of an iron shank, 5.5mm long and 4.2mm in diameter. The piece weighs 13.90 grams.Similar large spherical headed studs or nails are recorded in Crummy (1981:115, no.2995) although those had copper alloy shanks. Crummy suggests these were used on furniture and are Roman in date.
