Description: | Five small cast copper-alloy studs of probable Roman date. The heads are domed and sub circular in plan although two have four slight facets around the dome. Their diameters range between 11.7mm and 7.5mm and their heights vary between 4.8mm and 3.6. The shafts are all square sectioned and vary between 12.5mm and 6.2mm in length. A combined weight is given below. There appears to be no correlation between the shape of the heads and the dimensions of the studs.The studs are probably Roman, perhaps harness or furniture studs, but the simplicity of the form makes it impossible to rule out a later date. For similar examples on this database see refs. HAMP-91F771 and HAMP-82E161.
