Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman jug lid. The lid is trefoil-shaped and is slightly convex. In the centre of the lid is a curved projection, which tapers to a flat, slanting surface. This projection would probably have been used to help in lifting the lid. At the wider end of the lid is a large lug with an incomplete pierced hole near the edge for the hinge. The underside of the lid is plain. The length of the lid is 62.2mm and the width is 39.6mm. A parallel can be found in Crummy, 1983, P73, No. 2049, which was dated to 1st century AD.
