   A stunning find from my hometown #Rottweil: a #Roman hot and cold water tap. It was not a mixer tap, but was used to tap either hot or cold water. The spout has not been preserved.
   The picture of the reconstruction was taken in the at Augusta Raurica, Switzerland.
   The tap is on display at Dominikanermuseum Rottweil, one of our branch museums.
   It dates to the 2nd or early 3rd century.
