Samian ware fragments, Carzield
Three sherds of Samian pottery, from the Roman fort at
Carzield.
This readily identifiable form of red pottery, decorated with
patterns by being pressed in a mould, was made in Gaul (France) and
Italy. It was high-quality tableware, particularly popular and
widespread in the Western Roman Empire from about 50 BC to the
early 3rd century AD.
