Description: | A copper alloy Roman pin. It is incomplete due to old breaks, with the tip missing. The shaft is approximately circular and faceted, and tapers slightly from 2.95mm near the head to 2.63mm near the broken tip. There is a groove on either side of a narrow collar below the head which has a conical shape. There are radial incised lines decorating the head, two of which are clearly visible but any others are obscured by corrosion product on the surface. The pin measures 63.64mm in surviving length, and the diameter of the head is 6.65mm. The pin weighs 3.66g. A similar pin from Roman Colchester is illustrated in Crummy 1983,(fig.31, no.500).
