Description: | The head and a stub of the shaft of a corroded and worn copper-alloy Roman nail. The head is globular in shape, with a rounded upperside and a flat underside, it measures 7.9mm in diameter and 7.4mm in height. The small fragment of the shaft which survives appears to be circular in cross-section, although this may just be due to extensive wear, and measures 3.8mm in lenght and 3.6mm in width, it is incomplete due to an old break. There are patches of powdery green active corrosion on both the pin head and the shaft. Similar, although more complete nails with globular heads have been discovered at Colchester and are believed to be furntiure nails (Crummy 1983, 115, fig 116). | 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
