Description: | A small worn and corroded cast copper-alloy probable Roman stud dating to c. AD 43-410. The stud is formed of a circular in plan head and a circular in section shank, with minor losses to the head and at the length of the shank. The head is broadly flat in section with a slightly raised lip at the exterior edge, with the sides angled at 45 degrees from the upper surface; this has been partially clipped on one side. In the centre is a small raised circular disc with a central recess, surrounded by a shallow recess that extends to the exterior edge. It is possible that this once held enamel, as seen in Crummy (1983: 118, fig. 121) with no. 3217 in particular bearing the most similarity to this artefact. The stud is a mid-green colour overall, and measures 13mm in diameter, 7.5mm in length with the shank 2.5mm in width, and weighs 1.33 grams.
