The Antiquarian Discoveries at Silchester - Unveiling the Relics of a Roman City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, takes us on a mesmerizing journey to Silchester, near Reading. The print showcases a remarkable collection of antiquarian discoveries that shed light on the once-thriving Roman city hidden beneath layers of time. As we explore this archaeological wonderland, our eyes are drawn to various relics that have been meticulously restored. From pegs and oak boards to Roman Doric capitals and even a hippo sandal, each artifact tells its own story about life in the ancient Roman Empire. The image offers glimpses into different aspects of daily life within this northern gateway. A tent stands tall against the backdrop of ancient walls while nearby, ploughs and lamps hint at agricultural practices during those times. Carpenters' planes and dovetails remind us of skilled craftsmanship prevalent in constructing gates and structures. Silchester's rich history comes alive through these fascinating finds – from gridirons used for cooking to blacksmiths' anvils and shoemakers' lasts showcasing specialized trades. Even Severus himself makes an appearance with his coulter hitched onto an agricultural vehicle, highlighting farming as a crucial aspect of this vibrant community. Transporting us back centuries ago, this engraving invites us to marvel at the ingenuity and complexity behind these relics while igniting our curiosity about life in Calleva Atrebatum
