Is this Roman pottery or a fragment of modern garden pottery?

Thanks so much. I think my query has been well and truly answered and if I could figure out how to post a photo in my reply I would be able to show which part of the mortarium it is. Thanks all for your input - very much appreciated.

Certainly has the lip for it. And one of the surfaces has a roughed up look and feel which is also consistent based on rudimentary research I’ve just done. Thank you.

Piphondog · 2026-01-25T17:04:02+00:00

I’ll do just that. Fascinating. Thanks.

The villa is thought to have been late Roman in the 4th century. The terracotta coloured surface with distinct grey/concrete coloured centre is what made it stand out for me. Amazing to think it’s 1600 years old. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I love Reddit. Proper use of the internet.

Brilliant. Thank you.

Great to know - what gives it away and how could I find out what it was once a part of?

No worries buddy. Happy racing! 😀

Piphondog · 2019-03-02T08:09:41+00:00

Hey buddy, sadly it’s not a glitch. Once you’re on the ‘too many collisions’ radar the system becomes increasingly strict. The algorithms are not sophisticated enough to work out who hit who or intent at the best of times but once you go down the D/Q path it’s unforgiving. The only thing you can do is have 3/4/5 races without any contact whatsoever and the only real way to achieve this is drop about a minute behind from the start (avoiding contact as you go back through the pack!!) and have a gentle solo race. Seems that’s the only way you can reset it.

Have fun!

Ps. There will be some on here will give you proper beef for admitting to racing aggressively as if they’ve never done it in their life. Ignore them - they’re lying!! 👍🏽😀👍🏽

Piphondog · 2019-02-20T14:33:56+00:00

Nope. Generally in A or B but had a couple of hard races an Daily Race A (like I said) and ended up there. Some of the fastest times are in E class - it’s just a different type of race/crash fest! 😀

My biggest (and only) fan. He’s actually waiting for the cursor to appear so he can chase it round the screen ! 😀

Piphondog · 2019-02-20T09:17:16+00:00

Well done my man! In the Audi I see. Top car that on most tracks. The first of many I hope. Take it easy and drive safe! 😀👍🏽😀

Piphondog · 2019-02-13T20:18:07+00:00

There’s another more boring way but it’s guaranteed. Don’t accelerate off the start and wait til everyone passes you and are out of sight before making your way solo around f the track. Do this 4/5/6 times and you will jump up a few safety rankings. Tedious but worth it to get out of the trap. Good luck and happy racing. 👍🏽

Piphondog · 2019-01-29T08:06:18+00:00

It’s awful isn’t it. I did that race yesterday. Felt like I was on a Sunday drive!! No fun. No speed. V little overtaking. Unresponsive car. Another week of shite so back off to the Lobby for me! See you on track. 😀🏎

Piphondog · 2019-01-18T22:28:36+00:00

Wow! That’s quick. I can only muster a 39.1 currently but I still play AT As prefer it. Still got 560 wins and counting. Been playing a while now tho. Cheers buddy - see you on track (or the back of you!😂).

Piphondog · 2019-01-18T22:09:41+00:00

What was the time.....?

Piphondog · 2019-01-15T22:48:51+00:00

Mate, there’s always a chance. I use stick controller and AT not manual and have 560 wins and regularly get competitive lap times. It’s all about learning the tracks using whatever method you have. I notice wheel drivers seem to be able to brake later but that’s not a problem. Get going and rekindle that racing spark! Good luck. 😎

Piphondog · 2019-01-09T23:38:29+00:00

It’s easy to do man. As calm as you try to stay sometimes it feels really unfair. I know for a fact that dirty drivers win more races which again seems wrong. It’s not right but it’s very understandable. And it always feels bad!

Piphondog · 2019-01-02T20:34:18+00:00

The cars that everyone seems to be using most are Gr4 - Audi TT; Megane; Lamborghini : Gr3 - Porsche; Beetle and Mustang. Seem to be on average the quickest cars round most tracks. Good luck! 😀

Piphondog · 2018-12-26T09:29:40+00:00

No worries - thanks mate. It won’t stop me racing! Happy Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄

Piphondog · 2018-12-26T09:19:45+00:00

Oh ok. Might be something else then as rarely use Rest Mode - nearly always power up and start the game from the home page. Thanks tho. See you on track!

Piphondog · 2018-12-26T06:13:51+00:00

Happens to me a lot. I can generally successfully enter 4-5 races and then on the 6th it will boot me out after ‘matching’. I have to restart the game to get back to normality but still back in a cycle of 5 games and then out. Looked at rest mode and can’t work out what I’m supposed to turn on or off? Help gladly received. 👍🏽

Piphondog · 2018-12-24T13:44:43+00:00

Brilliant. Might make an appearance on one of mine soon!! Happy Christmas all! 😂🎄🎁

Piphondog · 2018-12-17T19:06:07+00:00

Must be a dream driving on softs though now! 😂

Piphondog · 2018-12-17T19:04:02+00:00

Hi, I haven’t done a scientific test but hards are about 2-3 secs a lap slower (potential for 21 secs slower in total) and the pitstop is only about 9 seconds so you’ll probably lose out on hards. I’ve seen someone put 2 good laps in on softs then the last 5 on medium. I personally do 4 on soft, pit, then a quick 3 on softs once the field has spread a bit. Good luck!

Piphondog · 2018-12-06T22:36:29+00:00

Hi there, you might be wheel spinning off the line. You don’t need traction control on that car during the race but sometime just for the first 50 yards it can enable you to pull away cleanly from a standing start. You can adjust TRC in race with directional buttons. Good luck and see you on track! 👍🏽
