Description: | A cast copper-alloy Roman stud of circular form. The front of this stud has a domed central boss (Dia.: 12.65mm) with a wide flange; on the reverse is an integral rivet with a flat circular terminal (Dia.: 10.5mm). There is an incised line forming a border near the edge of the stud on the front surface. There is damage to the stud's circumference as well as a crack at the junction between the dome and the flange. The artefact has corroded to a mid-green colour, with some pitting. A similar stud can be found illustrated in Crummy (1983, 116-118; ref. 3215), dated to the last quarter of the 1st century AD; there is a slight difference in the height of the dome and the shape of the rivet.
