Description: | A cast copper alloy pin, probably of Roman date, about AD 43 - 410. The head of the pin is globular and appears to be faceted, though the facets have been abraded over time and are no longer clearly seen. The lower part of the head tapers to the shaft (there is no collar), and the upper part is sub-square, possibly with champfered corners, and a flat top. The integral shaft of the pin is circular; the lower portion has broken away and is missing. The pin has a brown green patina. It is 27.5mm long and 4.8mm in diameter. It weighs 1.33gm.
