Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy pin of possible Roman or later date. Only the head and a small section of the shaft survive intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The head is globular in form, with some corrosion and post-depositional damage, particularly on the upper surface. From its base extends an integral shaft that is oval sectioned and terminates in old breaks just below the head. The entire object has a dark green patina and measures 10.86mm in length, 9mm in diameter (at head, 3.40mm at shaft) and 2.20g in weight. This is a copper-alloy pin or stud of probable Roman date, although a later date range cannot be ruled out entirely, c.43-410 AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
