Roman souvenir
A second-century bronze pan has turned up in Staffordshire.
Archaeologists are excited because the names of four forts located at the western end of Hadrian's Wall - Bowes, Drumburgh, Stanwix and Castlesteads - are engraved on the vessel.
While the find could suggest a Romans fondness for tourism and knick-knacks it appears to be a bespoke piece. Not quite so disturbing as socks and sandals then.
