Hi all
I think we are all in the same "boat" so to speak on the availability of a repro/useable or not/ patera of the first cent type. One thing i have noticed are the large number of rams head handles found and dated on military sites occupied by Legio II ie Hod Hill and Exeter from the first cent. Was this design prevelent in the legions or did different legions go for different styles? or was it litterally grab what you can.
As Magnus mentioned earlier in the thread,a pictorial database of these items would be ideal. I did find this site but no pics...http://www.archdiggers.co.uk/Patera_Database_All.aspx

I do notice that pateras are catagorized by letters...anyone got a link or info on this please
