Description: | A copper alloy Roman stylus. The shaft is circular in section with the end flattened and flared into a triangular shape to form an eraser. The point end has been broken in antiquity, part of the shaft has also been slightly bent. The shaft is thicker in the centre to create an easier grip. Copper alloy styli are less common in the Roman period, as iron is more common (Geake 2001). This example is undecorated and measures 88.6mm x 16.6mm x 4.6mm, weighing 14.55g. It has a light green patina. Similar examples on the database are YORYM-504434 and SWYOR-12BF41.
