A colour photograph of a broken Roman tile fragment made of reddish-brown terracotta. The surface features a rectangular stamped inscription in capital letters within a bordered frame. The tile is worn and irregularly shaped, with visible chips and cracks. An animal paw print is impressed below the inscription, likely made while the clay was still wet. A small circular museum label marked "07" is visible near the bottom left corner. A ruler along the bottom edge of the image provides scale in inches and centimetres. Add to board
