Roman Domesticity

Last, but by no means least, are various domestic items. The knife has a bend in it, so that when you were cutting something in the kitchen you could press harder on the top with your index finger, and would have been worn in a sheath at the owner's side. The bag would have been used for storage or for shopping - their equivalent of supermarket carrier bags, I guess. I was surprised to see a pan that looked like steel, but it is in fact tinned, and is shown on a domestic charcoal stove. The Roman did have steel, but hadn't worked out how to make it consistent, so sometimes it came out strong and other times brittle - a highly hit or miss process.
