Title
An unidentified Roman copper alloy object dating from the 1st to the 5th centuries A.D.
Description
English: An unidentified object of Roman date. A number of suggestions have been put forward as to its purpose, such as pin, steelyard weight and part of a armlet but the object does not resemble any of the examples given in any texts. The object itself is 95.21mm long, 3.63mm wide (at its widest points), 3.84mm thick (at its thickest points) and weighs 5.24g. It appears only to have been broken at one end, which means that whatever this object is, the terminal end is still surviving. There are four areas of the item that appear swollen and each of these are roughly the same length (about 10mm). These areas are more rounded that the smaller parts that are between them. This form give the item a chain like appearance.
