Roman cup unearthed in Spain may have been a keepsake representing a soldier's time at the Hadrian Wall
Archaeologists recently analyzed a broken, decorative cup found unexpectedly on a Spanish farm. The cup appears to represent Hadrian's Wall—a place 2,000 miles away—and a time period almost 2,000 years ago. The new study, published in Britannia, links the cup to several other vessels with similar attributes and suggests it was brought to Spain by a soldier serving at Hadrian's Wall.
