several such vessels and/or head-pots occur, for example at Corbridge, Carlisle, Piercebridge and Rudchester: also at Halton Chesters, and Binchester (sites with undated Sixth Legion inscriptions). African-type cooking vessels from York and other sources suggest the presence of African or mediterranean soldiers at Bewcastle, Old Penrith, Chester-le-Street and Lanchester and Malton, and unexpectedly at the fortress of // Augusta at Caerleon. This last poses problems of interpretation. Perhaps it is not too fanciful to see vexillations of African soldiers disembarking in York with Severus, and being kitted out with their casseroles and other equipment before marching North with his army. Then, when the war was over, they were dispersed among the various British legions and returned either to their bases or to building activities on the northern frontier. This might best explain the fascinating enigma of how African-type casseroles from York came to be used in the kitchen of the praefectus castrorum at Caerleon within the first decade or two of the third century AD.
