Description: | A cast copper-alloy pin of probable Roman date. It has a tapering cylindrical shaft that is slightly bent at its centre and has a pointed tip. The head is cylindrial in form, slightly thicker than the shaft and is separated from the shaft by a transverse circumferential groove. The entire object is undecoratyed but has a pitted dark green patina. It measures 103.55mm in length, 4.96mm in diameter and 8.77g in weight. This is a copper-alloy pin of probable Roman date similar to examples from Colchester (Crummy, 1983: nos. 507-509). It is of probable 1st to 4th century AD date, although a post-Roman date cannot be ruled out entirely.
