Roman sewing needles - TFLAVIUSAMBIORIX - 03-26-2006

I just picked a piece out of an artifact lot that may be half of a roman needle, it is definitely a bronze needle. does anybody have photos of roman needles in various styles? the lot was highly contaminated with early medieval stuff and I want to be sure.

They are very simple. Sometimes have a unic enlongated hole, sometimes have two very litte and circular.

Why do'nt you put a pic?
