RecordPanFrom Stanhope, Peeblesshire
PanThis bronze pan, also known as a patera, was found at Stanhope in Peeblesshire, together with a large bracelet and two mounts, probably for a harness, of native manufacture. It was a valuable Roman object, made between 80 and 180 AD. The pan is basically well-preserved, although it is corroded with holes on the base. It is ornamented with sunken concentric circles on the bottom. Although the Roman occupation in Scotland was strictly military, it did result in a number of fine objects being imported. These spread by various means to the population around the camps, where they were used as status symbols in the local society. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
