Photo of Minimus and Silvius, the Latin mice, working together to build a pottery heating stove (based on one found in Pompeii). They are standing either side of the unfired clay structure, which is shaped like a barrel with little feet and holes in the sides. Silvius has stamped a decorative mouse plaque for the front of the stove
