Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 2:40 pm I was reading an article about ancient Roman lead pipes. Some of them are reported to have engravings of emperors and other Roman legends. It is possible that's a plug to a small pipe. Although, I think it's probably more modern manufacture.

I wonder if it is a button, which is the first thing that came to mind when seeing the back of it. It's rather large for a button though. Report this Post to the Staff
