Hi Fae, Andy, and all
I agree that trying to apply copyright to a 2000 year old item is pretty outrageous, although I'm going to suppose that it stems from ignorance rather than anything else. We have some contacts at the BM although I'm not sure about Tullie House Museum, however I'm happy to contact both institutions, in the first instance, to give them the opportunity to correct this. I'll let you know how I get on.
Cheers Lucy

Perhaps, but as Fae indicates, it might also cause some movement.
What's your - WMUK's, I mean - alternative proposed action?
