Janine Mannion-Jones

These twenty different designs are a unique commission by Little Brown Mug. We asked Janine, a Peak District-based potter, to recreate the look and feel of authentic Roman pottery and then to stamp each one with a Latin tag relating to the worlds of love and friendship, leisure and work.

Each mug comes with a postcard with details about the source of the quotation as well as a handy English translation.

Calling all scholars, philosophers, gladiators and empresses – there's a motto for everyone.
