riveted patera - richsc - 07-08-2003

In a book I just got on Roman Bath, there are numerous patera recovered from the sacred well, and all the handles on them are riveted in place. This goes sort of against what I was told that patera were all pounded out of a single piece of bronze, or hinged. Other than Bath, does anyone know of other finds of patera that were riveted?<br>
<br>
the book is Barry Cunliffe's "Roman Bath Rediscovered" from Tempus Publishing. <p></p><i></i>

It's just that in our group the insistence is on a solid patera, which is a lot more trouble to make. I hope the riveted one holds up to scrutiny, as I can then get one! <p></p><i></i>
