What a beautiful artifact!
I watched a program last night on 'History Channel International' about the history of Hadrian's Wall. That makes your post quite timely, Despina, at least for me!
Thank you for posting the website addy!

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.
