# Reliquary

Reliquary casket in two parts, cylindrical in shape; made of gold. A longer or main cylinder accommodates a shorter cylinder which has a somewhat crushed wall since it could otherwise not have been pushed home; as at the time of discovery, it fits closely and the whole then held a 'thick brown liquid'.

- **Kind:** artefact
- **Date:** 100–299 CE
