Ingot
This is one of 12 lead ingots found in the river Thames. It has two stamps: the name 'SYAGRI' and a 'Chi-Rho' (a symbol for Jesus Christ created from the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ - XP). The name shows that this lead ingot was the product of a person called Syagrius, who may have been an imperial official in the Roman government and member of a powerful family from Gaul.
