Description: | Roman (1st to 4th centuries) probable pin: The copper alloy pin head is circular with a domed upper face and a flat underside. The domed face is decorated with fine radiating grooves. The integral, circular sectioned, shaft protrudes from the centre of the underside and only a fragment remains. The break of the shaft is not recent. The surface has a well-developed light grey/green patina which is incomplete. The pin measures 7.49mm long, nd the head is 10.83 by 9.59mm. It weighs 1.21g.The pin is probably a Cool Group 4 type which dates to the Roman period, the early 2nd to 4th century. Cool (1990) illustrates a similar example, Figure 3, No. 8. Cool, H. 1990 'Roman Metal Hair Pins From Southern Britain' Archaeological Journal Volume 147 pp. 148-182.
