Pottery sherdThis base sherd of Roman samian ware pottery was found at the site of the Roman fort at Camelon in Stirlingshire. It dates from between 140 and 165 AD. The sherd is stamped on the surface near the base with the manufacturer's name, 'Divix F', short for 'Divixtus made this'. Many mass-produced articles in the Roman world were stamped or inscribed by the manufacturers to indicate the makers, contents, dates or ownership, which suggests basic literacy amongst a wide section of the Roman population.
