“A mystery Roman capsule unearthed at an archaeological dig in the heart of London is to be opened on Monday.”
“The 2,000-year-old sealed tin canister was discovered by a team of archaeologists who have been excavating the site in Southwark, just south of the Thames, for the past year.”
…
” The site is believed to be the remains of a Roman temple complex dating from around the time of the birth of Jesus Christ.
As well as the bronze foot, an ancient plaque bearing the oldest known naming of London was recently unveiled.
Experts said the plaque appeared to refer to a champagne importer and newspapers said it could be viewed as London’s earliest known advert.
The capsule will go on immediate display at the Museum of London, along with all the other finds.” (BBC)
