Description: | Part of the base of a cast copper-alloy vessel. About half survives, sagging towards a broken circular hole in the original centre which would have measured about 6 mm in diameter. Around this on the inner surface are concentric ridges and grooves; on the outside, close to the broken edge, are the stubs of a broken-off footring. The footring is reconstructable as having a diameter of about 45 mm, and the broken-off thin-walled body of the vessel indicates a basal diameter of about 55 mm. Part of the exterior surface has been lost, exposing many quite large holes which are the result of poor casting. There are smaller holes on the inside surface. The base is 4 mm thick in the centre and the maximum thickness, along the footring, is 8 mm. Probably Roman.
