Roman copper alloy lock pin consisting of a round-sectioned biconical waisted head and incomplete integral rectangular-sectioned and very slightly tapering shank. The upper surface of the head is gently concave with a central, round, flat-topped protrusion. An encircling groove runs just below the top of the head and another just above the base. In profile the head bears much resemblance to some "bell-shaped stud" furniture mounts, though it is much smaller. The edges of the broken end of the shank are burred over. This suggests possible reuse as a mount, with the end hammered to secu…
