Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman lock pin. It has a circular (conical) head that measures 26.66mm in diameter. This has a concave upper surface and a central conical projection with flattened top and circular perforation. There are three concentric grooves on the concave upper surface. Beneath the head is a short circular waist above a prominent flattened disc that measures 21.52mm in diameter. From the base of the disc projects an integral tapering shaft that is rectangular in section, measuring 10.09mm in width and 5.55mm in thickness, but is incomplete due to old breaks. The lock pin measures 26.66mm in maximum diameter, 33.93mm in height, and weighs 36.42g. Similar examples of Roman lock pins are noted on the Portable Antiquities Database from Suffolk (see for example SF-2B10A5, SF-1FA287 and SF-9A5BA3) and from Roman Colchester (Crummy, 1983: no. 4143).
