Description: | A copper alloy stylus, possibly Roman in date. It is sub circular in section and tapers to a sharp point. The shaft is slightly bent. Unlike many styli, the rod does not flatten out to form an eraser at one end. It has a length of 89.58mm, width 5.90mm, thickness 5.98mm, weight 21.03g. It has a smooth dark brown patina. The probable stylus could be Roman in date, similar toYORYM-4A6412, but may also be post medieval as wax tablets were still used then.
