Description: | A copper-alloy Roman pin measuring 30.7mm in length. The head of this pin is globular, measuring 9.1mm in thickness and 10.2mm in diameter. The shaft has a circular section and is 21.4mm in length; it tapers to a point having been 3.3mm in diameter just below the head. The pin is worn, undecorated and has lost its patina at the pointed end of the shaft. 'Pins' of similar dimensions have been discovered at Colchester and have been identified as Roman furniture nails (Geake 2001, 39).

NARC-609D17 and NARC-609F46, all found in the same field within a radius of less than 14m | 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
