Commentary

Castelfranco 1879: 15 records five short graffiti on unspecified ceramic vessels or fragments salvaged from the first four graves found at the Villa del Soldo. He notes that the vessels of the four graves agree typologically with those in grave 5, so that they can be assumed to come from the same time frame, confirmed by a specimen of NM·5. Unless the objects are still in the possession of the Turati family, they are probably destroyed.
