Description: | A copper alloy stud with circular slightly convex head, with a shank extending from the apex of which 14.75mm survives. The stud is of probable Roman (AD 43 - 410) date. The shank is square in cross section beneath the head (3.9x3.81mm) and thins to the break point (1.95x2.05mm). The head is slightly damaged, with a crack running across it and a nick in one side. Similar large spherical headed studs or nails are recorded in Crummy (1981:115, no.2995). Crummy suggests these were used on furniture and are Roman in date. Cf. SUSS-DFE0E6 and SUSS-343793 on this database.Diameter: 24.05mmLength (From apex to tip of shank): 15.25mmWeight: 2.37g
