Description: | Roman amphora handle with stamp. The amphora (a large vessel used for transporting food) came from southern Spain and held olive oil. The stamp reads VIRGIN. It is not a reference to the type of oil in the vessel, but probably the abbreviated name of the place where the oil was produced (mid second century, Segedunum Roman Fort).
