Here are some other pictures of that patera that was found north of Hadrian's Wall, it is a larger cooking type pot that I have refered to with the more heavy type of cast base to take the heat of a fire.
This one after time took too much heat and burnt causing the handle to snap, however it was repaired in Roman times with the five metal bands and rivets, there were two found that shows just how thick and heavy the base was.
