Quiz: Guess the Roman mystery object
The Romans left us some weird and wonderful objects to find in our city.
The Roman collection at London Museum includes over 47,000 objects that evidence the ancient city of Londinium at work, worship, rest and play. Most of the objects were recovered during building operations in the City of London and Southwark.
While the red samian ware ceramics, of which we have the largest collection in the country, are fairly easy to identify, there are some other objects that are not as obvious. Can you guess what these artefacts from Londinium are?
