Description: | Sherd of Roman pottery with etched graffiti. The piece is a rim sherd of white or cream ware, probably belonging to a bowl shaped vessel. The fragment weighs 38.6g and measures 47mm in length, 74.15mm in width and 23.7mm in thickness (at the rim). The piece is of particular interest because of the graffiti on the outside surface of the vessel. This appears to read: VARITITY and could be related to the Roman term ?VERITAS? meaning ?Truthfulness?. Pottery with graffito is often found in burial/religious contexts and can relate to a name or statement. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1
