The pin has a flat reeled head, below which are three faceted globular knops each separated by a reel. Each knop and reel tapers in size towards the shank. Below the final reel are four circular moulded bands from the bottom of which extends a shank of circular section. The shank extends circa 23.7mm and appears to be more or less complete. The shank has a shallow bend to it half the way down which appears to be intentional rather than damage.
Length: 61mm, Diameter: 8.5mm. The shank diameter is 2.2mm at its upper end and is 23.7mm in length.
This is a terminal from a pin of Roman date. It finds parallels in examples from Colchester with Crummy's Type 2 pins that are characterised by beade, reel and spool motifs surmounted by a flattened sphere (Crummy, 1983: pp. 28-29). These are dated to between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD at Colchester and might indicate a similar date range for the current example.Photo supplied by finder.2018-04-03 11:30:132018-04-03 11:35:19412018-03-292018-03-291Certain112121PAS5AC357B5001AD07141LINCopper alloy10627CastCompleteROMANROx41218p0gjgrs69wsROMANROx41218p0gjgrs69wsMetal detectorCircaCirca89487259425595559941423TF2230TF2230TF23SW52.85368207-0.18963361011007921LIN357B5A.jpg32285Roman copper alloy pinLincolnshire County Council4images/adaubney/East MidlandsCultivated landEuropean RegionCountyLincolnshireDistrictSouth HollandCivil Parish52.8602-0.206735GosbertonReturned to finder97288
