Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy pin or stud of Roman date. It is missing the tip of the shaft due to old breaks. The pin has a globular head with a slightly flattened underside that tapers towards the integral shaft. The shaft itself is sub-rectangular in section and tapers towards its tip before terminating in old breaks. It has a worn and pitted green patina and measures 19.03mm in length, 8.47mm in diameter at head, 3.59mm in width at shaft, and weighs 2.66g. This is a copper-alloy pin or stud similar to examples from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2005: nos. 27-29) and Colchester (Crummy, 1983: no. 2995). It is of Roman date, c.43-410 AD.
