Description: | A cast copper alloy globular headed pin, with the stem missing, leaving just a stub at the base of the head. The head is 10.5mm in diameter and 9mm high. The stem has a section of 2.7mm in diameter, and is 2mm long from the head to the break. Globular headed pins are difficult to date accurately, due to their non-diagnostic style and ease of manufacture meaning they were produced in the Roman and Medieval periods. However, this example does not have a collar, and the patina seems consistent with Roman objects, so a tentative Roman date is suggested.
