Decorative tiles called ‘antefixes’ were used on the roof of the Roman legionary bathhouse in Exeter. Some, like this one from the collection of the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (Exeter), showed images of human faces. Others were decorated with dolphins. This particular antefix has also been the inspiration for our logo.
Ancient Exeter- Isca Dumnoniorum
In the 1970s a large-scale excavation targeted the ancient remains of bath complex associated with the fort of the Legio II Augusta. The extensive complex, erected around 60CE and demolished shortly after, yielded large quantities of small finds, such as gaming pieces, rings or hair pins. A significant number of architectural fragments also survive, and are now in the collection of the Royal Albert Memorial Museum.
