Description: | A worn Roman hair pin, measuring 46mm in total length.
The head is a squashed sphere is shape, measuring 6.7mm in height and 7.6mm in width. There is a central depression on the top of the head, which is circular and measures 3.6mm in diameter. Where the head joins the shaft there is a circumferencial moulding. The shaft is now bent and its tip is missing due to an old break, now worn. It has a roughly circular cross-section and is c42mm in length and 2mm in width.
This pin is identical to Group 21 as defined by H Cool (1990, 170, fig 11, no 8). All of the pins in this group come from Colchester and in one case the depression in the top of the head was filled with a decayed enamel or glass setting. None of the parallels come from dated contexts but H Cool tentatively suggests that they may have been in use in the first two centuries AD. | 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
