Description: | Sherd of Roman Samian ware, probably dating to the 1st century and likely to be a Southern Gaulish product. The fragment depicts a frieze with two gladiators standing and fighting, both with a weapon and shield. A very similar parallel to this decoration can be seen on a Dr Form 30 bowl in Oswald & Pryce, 1920 ??An Introduction to the study of Terra Sigullata??. This sherd appears to be quite curved in section and may be from a Dr Form 37 bowl.
The piece weighs 22.68g and measures 48mm in width, 53mm in length and 9mm in thickness. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
