Title
An incomplete Roman cast copper alloy lever lock key
Description
English: An incomplete Roman cast copper alloy lever lock key (43-410 AD). The key has an irregular profile and a rectangular section. The handle is a small hoop cast all-in-one with the rest of the key. It abuts a raised collar which divides it from the shaft of the key. Further down the shaft of the key is another raised collar which abuts the shaft and is abutted by the bit of the key. The bit of the key is shaped to engage with the lock and has a square projection down from its final edge, and a pin projection from the side. A further projection from the key bit appears to have broken off. The key has a light red surface colour with patches of green patina. It is 79.5mm long and 26.5mm wide, and a maximum thickness of 15.9mm. It weighs 6.4 grams. A similar example with a different shaped bit is illustrated in Crummy (1983), fig. 141, ref. 4156.
