Flue-Tiles, Quern, and Other Roman Articles Found at Lymne, 1850. Archaeological finds at Lympne in Kent: '...square hollow flue-tiles which ran up the sides of the apartments, and distributed warm air through the houses; the ornamental sides of these tiles were placed outwards, that they might rather adorn than disfigure the rooms. A quern is also exhibited made from the lava quarried at Andernach, on the Rhine, and famed in the Roman days, as well as since, for this peculiar strata. The T-shaped clamp on the ground at the other side is one of the many found bracing different parts of the walls; the ligula beside it is one of the many articles of a miscellaneous nature exhumed. The tile bearing the letters C. L. B. R. is of the rarest and most curious kind ; and Mr. Smith inclines to consider it the stamp of the Classiarii or Classici Brltannici - the British troops trained to sea warfare'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
