[Mid] Hadrian's wall find

A unique Roman "souvenir" of the building of Hadrian's Wall has been
discovered.

The bronze pan, dating from the second century AD, when the Romans built
the dividing wall across the north of England, was found in the
Staffordshire moorlands.

Archaeologists are excited because the names of four forts located at the
western end of Hadrian's Wall - Bowes, Drumburgh, Stanwix and Castlesteads
- are engraved on the vessel.
