Description: | A copper alloy button and loop fastener dating to the Roman period.The head is described as tear drop or petal-shaped with a raised dome in the lobe and matches Wild's type III (Wild 1970). The fastener is green with intermittent brown discolouration. The end of the fastener is broken so that it is missing the loop. The reverse of the button is hollow so that the circular section on the other side forms a bump.Wild, J.P. (1970) Button and loop fasteners in the Roman Provinces, Britannia, vol. 1.
