Roman Empire, c. 100–200 AD
Elegant ancient Roman bronze pin featuring a straight, tapering shaft ending in a finely pointed tip. Such pins were versatile personal items in antiquity, used either to fasten garments in place—serving as a practical alternative to brooches—or as decorative hair accessories. The simplicity of its design reflects the refined functional aesthetic characteristic of Roman metalwork during the Imperial period.
Good condition. Intact. Surface wear and abrasions commensurate with age and use, otherwise intact. A fine green patina envelops in layers of mottled grayish hues. Size approx. 8,5cm x 0,5cm x 0,3cm.
