Description: | A Roman copper alloy pin (circa 43-410 AD). The pin has a globular head (diameter: 8.18mm) and a shaft with a square cross-section. The end of the shaft is probably broken - there is a very small projection from the bottom of the shaft. The copper alloy has a dark green patina. This pin is very similar to pins found at Wroxeter that Webster (2002:114-116) suggests were used to decorated a wooden object and observes that they are very common on military sites. Dimensions: length: 24.30mm; weight: 2.35g Reference: Webster, G. 2002. The Legionary Fortress at Wroxeter. Excavations by Graham Webster, 1955-1985. English Heritage Archaeological Report 19, London.
