Description: | An irregularly shaped sherd from the floor of a Roman Samian ware bowl. The sherd is markedly convex, typical of the floors of Form 31 bowls. The fabric is hard with a dark red-brown slip: it can be classified as Lezoux samian 2 (LEZ SA 2). On the lower surface there are concentric circles from the manufacturing process. Central on the upper suface is a complete ?potter's stamp (L.: 27.6mm, W.: 3.9mm). The inscription, 'RIIOGENI M', has been found on form 31 bowls on the Antonine Wall (Hartley 1972, 17). It roughly translates as 'made by Ritogenus', with the 'T' seemingly blundered on the stamp. Ritogenus was operational at Lezoux in Central Gaul in the Antonine period; a such a mid-late 2nd-century date is suggested for this sherd. | 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: | 150
