Description: | A cast copper-alloy fragment, a pin probably from a Roman penannular brooch. The pin is arched, a characteristic of this brooch type. Similarly, it is of wrap-round construction. The loop features two grooves either side of a median ridge. The pin is very worn and pitted; the tip is blunt. There is a strong case for arguing that part of the brooch from which this was the pin was found by the same finder in the same field approximately 50m away: see this database, ref. NARC-4BCAD3. The pin would have been lost when the brooch was broken in two and separated conceivably through the agency of agricultural activity. | 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
