Description: | A copper alloy pin of probable Roman date, AD 43 - 410. It has a plain globular (sub-hemi-spherical) head with a slightly conical base and there is no collar. The shaft has broken off and is missing. The domed head has a dark brown patina but with some areas of damage where the original surface is missing and the corrosion is light grey. The pin is 9.2mm long, 10.7mm diameter and 2.83g. 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.
