Description: | Cast copper alloy pin. Globular, slightly flattened, head. Beneath this is a groove before the shaft extends downwards, tapering gently. There is a sharp bend in the remaining shaft just before the tip. The tip is blunt and a portion of unknown size appears to have broken away. The metal is in good condition with a dark green patina. It is probably of Roman date, AD c.43-410. Pins of this type are common from this period. A number of similar example may be seen in Bishop's (1996, pp.16-20) 'Finds from Roman Aldborough', particularly fig 9, no.41 (though this has a much shorter shaft).Length: 33.17mm, Diameter of head: 5.07mmWeight: 1.34g
