English: A terminal fragment from a cast copper alloy Roman patera handle. The flat circular terminal has a central circular perforation for suspending the vessel with a raised rim around the edge. Around the edge of the circular terminal is an incomplete double rim border with transverse grooves on the inner rim. On the inside of the border is another concentric row of punched dots, which is clearer near the handle end of the terminal but fades away midway around. The sides of the handle taper towards the break and have a double grooved linear border on either side with punched dots in between. A maker’s mark in the centre is possibly truncated by the break but reads ‘CI PI’. The broken end also has at least two incomplete rivet holes, which suggests that the vessel may have been repaired. The surviving length of the handle is 60.7mm, the external diameter of the terminal is 47.1mm, the thickness is 3.4mm and the weight is 39.04g. The maker’s mark is ‘CIPI’ refers possibly to Publius Cipius Polybius or an other member of a Capuan family of bronze smiths, who was operating in the mid 1st century AD. An example from Colchester was found in the Boudiccan destruction layer of 60 AD (Hawkes, C.F.C. and Hull, M.R. Camulodunum (1947), 334, pl. CI).
