A moulded glass counter, probably a gaming piece. The gaming piece probably dates to the Roman period, circa AD50-400. The gaming piece is circular in plan and plano-convex in section. The gaming piece is black and opaque. Most of the surfaces are matte, but a slight faceted edge is shiny presumably as a result of polishing. The upper face is slightly damaged but a small, central perforation surrounded by a concentric groove is clearly present. The damage is not new and was probably caused as a result of movement in the plough soil. Diameter: 11.25mm. Thickness: 6.06mm. Weight: 1.2…
