This is the rating and price for Roman Hypocaust Box Tile Group



Description : 1st-5th century AD. A group of two hollow-formed ceramic hypocaust box tile fragments, one featuring comb-tooth patterns in a criss-crossing formation on three sides, the other featuring comb-tooth patterns in straight lines and in arcs on two sides, the purpose of these grooves was to help the mortar to adhere to the brick, each mounted on a custom-made stand. 4.5 kg total, 29-32cm (11 1/2 - 12 1/2). From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019), acquired on the UK art market from 1960-2000. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils.
