Description: | Complete flat Roman roof tile (tegula). These were laid in overlapping rows on a roof, with the join between two side-by-side tiles covered by a semicircular tile called an imbrex. Before the tiles were fired in a kiln, they were laid out on the ground to dry. Sometimes animals, in this case a dog, walked over the still wet tiles (second to fourth century, Arbeia Roman Fort).
