#FindsFriday Roman pot stamps

Anyone hungry for this #FindsFriday ?

Every now and again (or all the time if you work in Camulodunum), we are reminded of the Roman makers behind the pottery we find 🏺

This Roman Central Gaulish Lezoux samian dish/plate, is nearly complete and dates to AD 130-150. In the centre of the dish, if you look closely, we can see a maker’s stamp of SOLIIMNI is impressed. This is the stamp of Sollemnis I 😮

Maker’s stamps are commonly found on fine wares such as this, in the centre of the base. They can help us to understand WHERE an item came from, WHEN it was made, and WHO made it.

I wonder WHAT this was used for? 🍇🥩🥦
