Description: | A large (c.310mm diameter, c. 3kg) plate of cast lead alloy (probably pewter), dating to the late Roman period (3rd or 4th century). The plate is heavily fragmented (<30 fragments), and in a brittle, degraded state.
The plate was associated with a late Roman coin (NARC-D1F608), sherds of Roman pottery (NARC-D1DDC6), including samian ware,greyware, and colour-coated wares, and animal bone (NARC-D1B995). Substantially complete pewter bowls of this size are rare finds. Examples on the PAS database include BERK-198815 and LON-C11945, though these are both of medieval to postmedieval date. There is an impressive Roman example from Dorset (DOR-CAC462), but this is far more ornate than the present example. | Subjects: | pewter | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
