Copper-alloy pin of Roman date (c. AD 43-410). The pin is composed of the remains of a head (possibly globular). The base of this head is still visible and appears to have been circular in section. It is approx. 4.1mm in diameter. Below the break are three evenly spaced circumferential ridges. The diameter of these ridges is 6.9mm.
