Fragment of a Roman mortarium rim with stamped mark and graffiti, shown against a black background.
For #TrimontiumTuesday: a #Roman mortarium fragment from Trimontium. Look closely—there’s a maker’s stamp and personal graffiti! Someone clearly didn’t want to share their spice grinder.

Let me share my #mortarium obsession with you: just look at this beauty! Made at Mancetter-Hartshill, used widely across Roman Britain ❤️ what for? Most likely for grinding/mushing and mixing food. ‘Tis a beauty ❤️
