Whether they really aimed at the restoration of the Bourbon kings and at bolstering up the fortunes of an effete and dispossessed monarchy with money wrung from peaceable citizens, or whether they were a mere pack of lawless brigands made up of deserters from the army and fugitives from conscription, of felons and bankrupt aristocrats, will for ever remain a bone of contention between the apologists of the old régime and those of the new.

Bath House Tile from Hexham, England dated to the 1st Century CE on display at the Roman Vindolanda Fort and Museum in Hexham, England
Large quantities of tile were discovered during the excavation of the Vindolanda pre-Hadrianic bath house, The tiles were probably manufactured on site ar Vindolanda. When they were laid out to dry numerous small animals walked over the damp clay, leaving footprints. Over 300 animal prints have been identified, representing cat, pig, cattle and sheep or goat.
Other impressions on the tiles include human finger prints, textile prints (where the tile carrier has pressed the tile against their rough apron or tunic) and grafitti.
