Silver Vase Silver Vase (handle missing), Water Newton Treasure, 4th Century AD, British Museum.

Cantharus Silver cup of cantharus form with two ogival handles, found detached. There is no decoration, but the external surface appears to have been burnished. The interior shows hammer marks and the position of the handles is indicated by solder marks on the cup. The rim is thickened and neatly finished. The foot is of a low conical form, also has a thickened rim, and is attached to the body by a square-ended rivet. The slight knop between base and cup shows some green corrosion. The handles are of simple, flat section; but the basal attachment is formed to a simple drop-shape.

Lullingston Chi Rho fresco Modern restoration of the fresco containing the Christian symbol of the Chi Rho from the Roman Villa at Lullingstone, now at the British Museum, London.

Roman marble bust Roman marble bust, found at the Roman villa at Lullingstone.

Christians at prayer This wall painting was found at Lullingstone, Kent, in the Darenth valley, when the remains of a Roman villa were excavated in 1949. The villa had been built in the late first century AD, and altered and extended several times in the succeeding 300 years. There was evidence for pagan worship at the site well into the fourth century AD, but eventually the family which ran the estate adopted Christianity. At this early date in the history of Christianity, house-chapels and other types of accommodation must have been at least as common as purpose-built churches. A small suite of first-floor rooms at Lullingstone (probably provided with external access) was set aside as a Christian place of worship.

The walls were decorated with elaborate paintings on Christian themes, which have been partially reconstructed. This area shows a frieze of praying figures. The figures pose with upraised hands in an attitude still used by Christian priests when praying before a congregation.
