L’ attirail d’un magicien rangé dans une cave de Chartres/Autricum by Dominique Joly, Richard Gordon, Jonathan Simon, William Van Andringa, Stéphane Willerval

“…These objects were hidden in the tiny cellar of a domus collapsed after a fire at the turn of the 1st and 2nd century AD.This set includes three snake-vases, a broad-bladed knife, two oil lamps, fifteen entire vessels (bottles, flasks, plates and jars), a small assortment of carbonised animal bones and smelt glass sherds. Iron and copper-alloy pieces and bone hinges make possible the reconstruction of a casket, a cupboard and probably one or two chests.The text of the turibulum is inscribed from the top to the foot, on four columns divided by vertical lines, each one corresponding to a cardinal direction. …”
