We're all set up at @romanpalace.bsky.social! Looking forward to chatting with lots of people and striking some replica Roman coins! #FestivalOfArchaeology

We've been busy with some experimental #Archaeology & have been striking our own coins! We had some custom dies made - official & barbarous portraits of Tetricus, the project & the @uniofreading.bsky.social logo. We've got enough for a hoard now! #FindsFriday
Copper and brass coins struck with official and barbarous images of Tetricus, the REMADE logo and the University of Reading logo on a plank of wood, with a hammer and the metal dies behind them The images on the 4 custom coin dies. All images are mirrored. Top left is the official Tetricus portrait, top right is the barbarous copy portrait, bottom left is the Celtic knot style design of the REMADE logo with a capital R in the middle, and the bottom right is the university of reading logo, which is a shield with 3 shells across the top.

A very hoppy #FindsFriday - an adorable little crouched hare plate brooch (only 2cm long!). It has a tinned surface with bands of niello inlay and a hinged pin. It was found in the Forum Basilica excavations at Silchester #Roman Town. #Easter #Archaeology
A Roman plate brooch in the form of a crouched hare sits on a white backdrop. It is silvery coloured, which comes from.the surface being tinned. There are bands of black niello inlay, and the eye is a turquoise colour

Team day in the lab, looking over copper alloy finds from Silchester #Roman town. We were being quizzed on brooch identification by Owen, the REMADE finds specialist.
Many of these finds have already been chemically analysed by the project (non destructive pXRF & tiny samples too) 🏺 #Archaeology
