Elaborate terra sigillata cup type Dragendorff 24/25 found in the inhumation grave no. 40 of the In Persona necropolis (see Bianchetti 1895: 219 f. with inventory); preserved practically completely with only minor damage to the bottom. Decorated with a coil motif and flowers around the rim. The stamp is recorded as MENO sub no. 1164 in OCK, but this otherwise unattested potter seems to be a ghost; the stamp is rather that of M. Perennius Crescens (OCK no. 1408, also recorded there, but not identified with the misread Meno), an Arretine potter active between 30 and 60 AD. Dating from Morandi.
