Here is another of my favourite #mortaria - the spout (or snout!) of a Soller piggy mortarium that was found in the river at Piercebridge

Even though I'm a Prehistorian and metalwork buff, I've always had huge soft spot for #Roman #mortaria. No idea why but I ❤️ them. Just documented three rim sherds from #RibchesterBathhouse - thinking they're Hartshill-Mancetter and Corbridge types @RomanFindsGrp @wallcurator
