Nero tile stamp

Fragment of tile bearing a stamp with the name and titles of the Emperor Nero, AD 54-68. This tile was found in 1904 in a cess pit at the east end of the latrine of the Public Baths.

It was made in an imperial tilery, probably at Little London near Pamber. A tile bearing a similar stamp, but made from a different die, was found there in 1925 and is now in the British Museum. No other site has produced tiles with this stamp.

On the right side of the tile can be seen a dog's paw mark.
