from Newstead, Roxburghshire
Add to albumThese four bronze mounts attached to iron rings were used to suspend a hanging bowl. There were found at the site of the Roman fort at Newstead in Roxburghshire, and date from between 80 and 180 AD.
The boat-shaped mounts are convex. They would have attached to a hanging bowl at regular intervals.
The high status of officers in the Roman army was reflected in the quality of their cooking and eating equipment. Officers had servants to cook and serve them, while low-ranking soldiers used camp kettles and pans over charcoal griddles.
