Water pipe of terracottaThis terracotta water pipe was found at the site of the baths in the Roman fort at Newstead in Roxburghshire. It was part of the main water supply system, used sometime between 80 and 180 AD. The pipe is unusually well-preserved. It has a faucet joint at one end. Bathhouses and latrines in the permanent Roman forts had running water delivered by lines of underground pipes. At Newstead, two types of water pipes were found, the larger like this one for the main supply, and smaller ones without faucet joints.
