Description: | A slightly worn and broken cast copper-alloy Roman pin. The shaft is seemingly circular in cross-section and bends towards the break, above the point. The pin head is formed of multiple blocks. It terminates in a knobbed finial decorated with incised cross-hatching. Below this is an elaborate collar formed of three ridges, the central one the largest of the three. Below is a cylindrical block which perhaps tapers slightly just before the shaft. This too is decorated with incised cross-hatching. This pin bears certain similarities to an example illustrated in Cool (1990, 161; ref. 5) and is thus attributed a 2nd-century AD date. | 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: | 100
