Title |
Roman Needle (probably) |
||
Description |
English: A Roman (AD 43-410) copper alloy probable miniature votive spear (or possible hair pin), bent and measuring 85.16mm in length (unbent, c.118mm). It weighs 4.4g. At one end is a flat head, cut to a point at the end. It has a central piercing 3.15mm in diameter. At this point it is max.8.20mm wide and 1.30mm thick, narrowing behind into the shank (3.57x1.89mm) where it thickens. The area between shank and piercing is decorated on both sides with an incised X bound above and below with a pair of transverse lines (on one side, only one transverse line flanks the hole). At the top of the shank there appear to be worn diagonal grooves on both sides. Alternatively, you do get some Roman hair pins with perforated heads but with the head at nearly a centimetre in width I think this might be a little too big. |
