Description: | One base sherd (with damaged foot-ring) of Roman Samian ware. The base fragment measures 35.41x28.90x5.59mm, while the foot ring measures 33.58mm in diameter and is 11.19mm tall. Thus the dimensions of the fragment are 35.41x33.58x16.78mm. It weighs 12.83g. On the inside surface of the base is a rectangular stamp with IXI in relief.Samian ware was exported from Gaul during the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. Brenda Dickinson comments "the base is likely to be from a South Gaulish form 27g cup. The IXI stamp is anepigraphic (without a legend) but there is another example of it from the Binchester fort (Dickinson pers. com), which was founded during the Agricolan period. The vessel itself is likely to be of early-mid Flavian date".
