Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman pin of Cool group 21 (Cool 1990, 170, fig 11 no 8). The pin has a squashed spherical knop head. 9.0m in dimeter, with a central depression on the top, measuring 3.1mm in diameter, surrounded by a raised ring. This depression is now mostly empty but holds traces of a broken, shiney material, probably decayed glass or enamel. Where the head joins the shaft there is a wide, worn collar. The slightly tapering shaft has a circular cross-section and measures 13.5mm in length, ending in a old, worn break.All of the parallels refered to by Cool come from Colchester unfortunately none of them have come from dated contexts although she suggests a date in the first two centurys AD on stylistic grounds (Cool ibid). There are several parallels on this database including: SF-665451, SF-1F1BD2 and LVPL-9EE0A6 which widen the area of distribution of this type.
