Rim of a mortarium (mixing bowl) with the stamp ‘VITANII’, made in the area of Bartholomew Street, Exeter, just outside the legionary defences in a probable military compound. Vitanius was a potter supplying mortaria for the fortress. He is the first craftsman working at Exeter whose name has come down to us; the find dates to c. AD 60-75.
