I've seen photos of the recently uncovered unguent/whatever jar (?); I read that it's metal, but are there any details on its construction? spun? The cap seems to fit very tightly, but was 'easier to open than a Marmite can'. <p></p><i></i>

Salve Gaius! Great photo, and does not look like a screw top, but it does look carefully made. I guess we'll have to wait a bit for a publication on it; pressed or spun, all that. Not to mention the contents. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub27.ezboard.com/bromancivtalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=richsc>Richsc</A> at: 8/6/03 12:04 pm<br></i>
