Description: | A copper alloy Roman pin. The head is polyhedral, having fourteen facets; essentially a cuboid with the corners cut off. The remaining part of the pin shaft is circular in section and there is no collar. The shaft is slightly swollen at the broken end. There is a right angle bend in the shaft near the pin head. It has a light brown patina. It has a length of 31.13mm, width 7.84mm, thickness 3.63mm, weight 5.20g. For reference see SWYOR-C5ACA5 on the PAS database. Polyhedral pins are dated to both the Roman and Early Medieval periods. The fact that this pin does not have a collar beneath the head indicates a Roman date in likely.
