Silver handle from the Capheaton treasure, Roman Britain, 2nd or 3rd century AD. This incomplete handle with gilded details features the goddess Minerva above a temple which is set close by a water-source. A figure makes an offering before the temple. The scene is highly reminiscent of the precinct of Sulis Minerva at Bath. The fragments of highly decorated silver vessels that make up the Capheaton treasure were found in 1747, at Capheaton, Northumberland. They may be treasure from a temple. The decoration is purely Roman, and depicts religious and mythological subjects.
