presumably Roman-made bronze 'buckets' are a fairly common luxury item in Roman Iron Age graves in Germany, but I doubt they meet the definition we have today of a 'bucket', most likely being part of table services for drinking parties.<br>
<br>
Other than that, I would speculate that ceramic (being plentiful and ridiculously cheap) stood in through much of the Med in everyday contexts, but I recall at least one bucket from a museum in Germany that was Roman-era. There is also a kind of bronze (OK, copper-alloy) vessel that was probably used for cooking that looked a lot like a modern bucket. <p></p><i></i>

I believe Matthew Amt said he kept his sponge on a stick in his patera I hope he hasn't actually used the sponge or if so, the patera! <p></p><i></i>

The Corbridge Hoard eh... It was good job for us that Jean Mary Cook didn't find it. Roman re-enactment would certainly look very different<br>

Thank you everyone for your help.<br>
