We will never know if the Lady Juliane is the lady on our pepper pot, but she may well have been its owner.

虽然她未必是胡椒瓶上的那位贵妇，却一定是胡椒瓶的主人。

Our pepper pot was buried alongside a stack of ladles, some small silver jugs and a beautiful silver handle in the shape of a prancing tigress.

我们的胡椒瓶与一堆长柄勺、几个小银罐和一把造型为跃起的母虎的漂亮银把手摆在一起。

Britain had become part of the Roman Empire in the year 43, so by the time of our pepper pot it had been a Roman province for over three hundred years.

公元43年，英格兰成为罗马帝国的一部分。因此到制作这个胡椒瓶的时期为止，英国已由罗马统治了三百余年。

But the pepper pots are just a tiny part of the great hoard of buried treasure-they were found in a chest containing 78 spoons, 20 ladles, 29 pieces of spectacular gold jewellery-and over 15,000 gold and silver coins.

尽管如此，胡椒瓶也只是这批埋藏的宝藏中的一小部分。 当时出土的一个柜子里有78把普通汤匙，20把长柄勺，29件 金饰，以及一万五千多枚金银币。
