New Land - Roman Votive Cauldron

[CRUSADER]

Prasutagus (land magnet) kindly nosed out some more land for us to do. I ditched work & had a day off to explore it.
It was a large field & I was doing what I always do on new land, trying to find the best place to start gridding. The spectacle buckle with pin was the reason to start gridding & I soon had the biggest Spur Rowel I've ever seen Then a hammered which needs research. (Edward I - Sterling Imitation, I think)
Prasutagus joined me for a short period (in fact, the only period I found anything good). Cru'dad came to pick me up just before dark. He did two runs with me & found nothing, so we headed back to the car. Half-way back he got something I've wanted to tick off the list for awhile:
Bronze Roman Votive Cauldron Missing a leg but otherwise a stunning miniture piece 8) 8)

I don't know how we do it with such a short hunt on new land but I hope it continues

I knew I should have stayed longer! Well done!

You were right, just checked a book, the Rowel is 14th-15th Century

Nice one Cru, I like that cauldron, I never knew these were available

Isn't "votive" an offering? Would it have had anything in it?

Exactly, I would have thought this to be unique and never imagined that they were "available" for the general population. Incredible! I am learning more about Roman history each day thanks to you and the other U.K.'ers. I still can't believe the stuff you guys find. I wish I was there.
Nice finds!
Dave.

Maybe one day. I could hunt over there but you would have to promise not to kill me in any swamps

 

[CRUSADER]

Always cool to see all your found treasure and learn from you Crusader
How can you tell, the rowel is a rowel ? I would have thought one of that size would cause a puncture wound?
Or was it used on 'armoured' horses?

Sorry missed this question.

Experience Plus books, & now I've checked its 14-15th Century. Although I guessed it was probably 17th

Looks like that's a great piece of new land for you - lovely finds Crusader,
Looking forward to seeing what else you get off it.

Hey, it would be your turf so anywhere is fine by me. Just don't have me swimming the English Channel.
I'll certainly would be sampling the local ale to get me good and stout.
