Roman Army Pottery

However, while originally most of the pottery used in Britain was imported or produced by

the Roman Army potters (the Army was the main user and producer of pottery in the early

years of their conquest and occupation of Britain), the Britons saw an opportunity to make

money by selling their own pots to the Roman army. They learnt the Roman techniques and

began production for themselves. Britons produced good quality pottery called Castor ware

in the second century.
