Title
Roman flue tile
Description
English: A fragment of Roman (AD 43-410) ceramic building material in the form of a box flue tile, measuring 64.43x48.10x17.60mm and weighing 40.1g.

The fabric is sandy and oxidised, and the decoration comprises either combed or rolled parallel lines. The grooves are 2-3mm wide and where one complete group survives, there are five grooves in a group. The groups are set either at 90 degrees or 45 degrees to each other.

Box flue tiles were used to create flues in the walls of building, through which hot air generated by the hypocaust system would pass. The Linear grooves decorating the surfaces are keying to improve the adhesion of wall plaster.
