Description: | Fragment of copper-alloy Roman pin of Cool group 5. The pin head decoration is formed from a diagonal grooves cut into the top of the shank. The shank is circular in section and has a very slight taper. The break edge on the shaft is horizontal and worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. Much of the original surface survives with a brown patina with tiny patches of yellowy white wear. The pin has a surviving length of 26.58mm, of which 9.76mm is grooved. It has a diameter of 2.54mm at the thickest point, and weighs 0.58g. Pins of this type were used throughout the Roman period but were most popular in the 2nd century. See Cool, 1990, Roman metal hair pins from southern Britain, figure 4. | 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
