Description: | A copper alloy pin of probable Roman date, AD 43 - 410. It has a plain globular (sub-spherical) head and there is no collar. The shaft is a rounded square in cross-section, and is thicker (3.8mm) near the head, tapering to 2.8mm for most of the length, then tapering to a blunt point. The shaft is bent at 45 degrees twice in the middle, creating an L shape. The pin is 47.3mm long, and the head has a diameter of 9.1mm. 5.03g. The Finds Recording Guide (Geake, 2001) suggests that pins without collars are more likely to be Roman than early Medieval, but they are hard to tell apart.
