Also came across a Canteen made from Esparto and sealed with resin... size unknown, a civil find from a mining area I think the date is 2nd-1st cent BC.



From Mazarrón currently in the Municipal Archaeological Museum of Cartagena, for a tidy sum its possible to buy a "replica" though I dont know if it works or is even very accurate?...

Holy....

For that amount of money I can buy 100% hand-made spatha with scabbard Big Grin

......sh*t   so can I.... Tongue

On a more serious note I guess it would be possible to make a copy (or have it made) from leather or (turned?) wood, as I doubt such things are made that way in more northern climes...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
