Context (CMS Context)
Given the similarity in numbering with other Roman objects excavated by Dr John Alexander in the 1960s and deposited with MAA, it was assumed that this nail came from one of his excavations. However, it is unclear which site it comes from, and they are all listed in the Place field.
