Description: | An incomplete copper alloy buckle pin of Roman date and of military association. The pin is in the form of a trefoil with the main pin stem being plano-convex in shaped with a moulded rib around the terminal end. The two side prongs, which are incomplete, are thinner and flatter and curve up towards the collared neck of the pin. At the end of the neck is the broken suspension loop which would have secured the pin to the buckle frame. A similar complete buckle and pin set is illustrated in Hawkes and Dunning (1961 fig. 17,k) which notes that the buckle came from a secure context dated to after 364. Another example dated to the first century is illustrated in Bishop and Coulston (2006:108, no. 16).
