Roman whetstone
Flat whetstone with rectangular cross-section. The two faces are well worn, also the long edges, one of which is particularly worn and has a concave profile as a consequence. The wear on the narrow edge would point to this stone being used for small blades. Complete, although there is an area of damage c. 25 by 28 mm on one face.
