Flue-Tiles, Quern, and Other Roman Articles Found at Lymne, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Flue-Tiles, Quern, and Other Roman Articles Found at Lymne, 1850. Archaeological finds at Lympne in Kent:..square hollow flue-tiles which ran up the sides of the apartments, and distributed warm air through the houses; the ornamental sides of these tiles were placed outwards, that they might rather adorn than disfigure the rooms. A quern is also exhibited made from the lava quarried at Andernach, on the Rhine, and famed in the Roman days, as well as since, for this peculiar strata. The T-shaped clamp on the ground at the other side is one of the many found bracing different parts of the walls; the ligula beside it is one of the many articles of a miscellaneous nature exhumed. The tile bearing the letters C. L. B. R. is of the rarest and most curious kind ; and Mr. Smith inclines to consider it the stamp of the Classiarii or Classici Brltannici - the British troops trained to sea warfare'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
great image capturing the intrigue and discovery of Roman artifacts unearthed at Lympne, Kent, in 1850. The photograph showcases a collection of Roman relics, including square hollow flue-tiles, a quern, a T-shaped clamp, a ligula, and a tile bearing the letters C.L.B.R. The flue-tiles, with their decorative sides outward, once distributed warm air throughout Roman houses, adding both functionality and aesthetic value. The quern, made from lava quarried at Andernach on the Rhine, was a common household item used for grinding grain. The T-shaped clamp and ligula are among the many articles found bracing different parts of the walls, ensuring the structural integrity of the buildings. The tile with the letters C.L.B.R. is a rare and curious find, believed by Mr. Smith to be the stamp of the Classiarii or Classici Brittanici - the British troops trained for sea warfare. This discovery provides valuable insights into the military presence and daily life in Roman Kent. This collection of Roman artifacts, discovered over 170 years ago, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Lympne and the Roman occupation of Britain. The intricate details and historical significance of each item make this an essential addition to any archaeological or historical collection.
