guy Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) What is it? Laguncula (canteen) Culture Roman Date End of 1st to end of 3rd century A.D. Material Iron and copper alloy Found Seynod, France Dimensions 6.5 inches high, 4.4 inches wide, weight 1 pound Quote When these contents were analyzed, they were found to consist mainly of millet, mixed with a small quantity of blackberries and dairy products, all of which had been heated, and traces of conifer resin. “The context in a sanctuary pit and the fact that the food was all cooked suggests that not just the canteen, but also the contents were a sacrifice of some kind,” https://www.archaeology.org/issues/391-2007/artifact/8785-artifact-france-roman-soldier-canteen Edited October 30, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
