Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy pin of Roman date. It has a globular ('button') shaped head with flat top and bottom surfaces. At the juncture of shaft and head are two incised transverse grooves beneath which the shaft tapers towards a now incomplete tip. The head measures 7.24mm in diameter and 4.57mm in height, the entire object measuring 60.50mm in length, 2.98mm in maximum diameter at the shaft, and 2.84g in weight. This pin is near identical to examples published by Cool (1990: fig. 5 nos. 3, 4, 6, 8) and classified by her as 'Button and Cordon' headed pins (Group 6). It is of Roman date, perhaps from the 1st-2nd centuries AD.
