Description: | Roman drinking cup (beaker) found in one piece. This was found in the demolition material of a barrack that burnt down in a big fire at Arbeia Roman Fort. The fire was fierce enough to melt glass and the whole building was destroyed. By some strange chance this pot survived the fire, the demolition of the ruined building, the building of a new barrack on top of it, and 1700 years in the ground (late third or early fourth century).
