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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
