Description: | A copper alloy pair of tweezers, probably Roman. One half of one arm is broken and missing. The loop at the top of the tweezers is filled with iron corrosion, possibly the remains of the iron suspension loop. The arms have a rectangular cross-section, and expand slightly from 3.95mm to 4.73mm, to curve inwards at the terminal. The tweezers are similar to ones excavated in Colchester (Crummy, 1983: p.59); some of which may not be Roman. For this example a wide Roman date range is tentatively suggested. Dimensions: length 44.90mm; width 4.73mm; thickness 5.10mm; weight 1.90g Reference: Crummy, N. The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester, 1971-9.
