3D Model

This is a sherd of a roman potery, of a type known as Samian Ware. It is part of the base of a dish, and is marked with someones name.

It is inscribed with:

VITOR[…] - Vitor[is]

meaning “property of Victor.”

Likely belonging to a Roman soldier or official stationed at the early fort at Strutts Park, this is the earliest known written word from Derby.
