For #EpigraphyTuesday a wooden barrel found in a well in the #Roman settlement at Aalen with the name GAIVS COTTIVS FLORENTINVS branded in, probably the merchant or owner of the barrel. Barrels were used for the transport and the storage of wine. This one was reused as a lining for a base of a well. The damp environment has preserved it in a good condition.
@ninawillburger it's beautiful, where can it be seen in person?
@luigirenna It' on display at Limesmuseum Aalen
