Description: | A copper alloy pin, 31mm in length. The head of this pin is globular with a flat underside, it measures 9mm in width and 8mm in height. The pin head appears to have been decorated with small circular indentations, there is one on the tip of the pin head and the remains of several near to its lower edge. The shaft is 23mm in length and hexagonal in cross-section, it is probably incomplete at its terminal which is tapering. This pin is most likely to be Roman in date as it does not have a collar or a circular cross-sectioned shaft. Parallel shaped pins have been found throughout the Roman period in East Anglia, Exeter, Colchester and Verulamium (Cool 1990, 151). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
