Charity Shop find of the century

Spotted this in Cancer Research UK, the remaining piece of a Gladiator hand dated from around 200AD, originally found in a well in the Thermal Baths of Caracalla, Rome in the 1960s.

The previous owner said that she wanted to declutter and by doing so needed to be rid of her c 2000 year old door stopper.

A very heavy marble piece nonetheless!
