Description: | A Roman copper-alloy pin.The pin has been cast in one piece and has a flattened-hemispherical head and circular cross-sectioned shaft. Two grooves extend around the top of this shaft; beneath these the shaft tapers towards its distal end, which has been bent upwards to form a hook-like feature. Length: 34.7mm; diameter of head: 6.9mm. Weight: 2.5g.A published parallel for this common form of Roman pin is no. 218 from excavations at Baldock, Hertfordshire (Stead and Rigby 1986: fig. 54). The dating evidence from Baldock suggests that pins of this form date from the 2nd century onwards (ibid. 128).
