Description: | Cast copper alloy object, probably incomplete and probably a pin of Roman date. It has a flat circular head 10.8mm in diameter and 5.6mm thick with a deeply indented ring and dot in the centre of the upper side and a row of indented pellets around the side. The shank is circular sectioned 5.8mm in diameter with an indent to one side just below the head. The end has a slight burr around it but this may be the result of breaking although the end is otherwise very smooth. The thickness of the shaft, neat end and slight burr could suggest this was some sort of rivet rather than a pin. It is 21.0mm long and 6.19 grams.
