Large, roughly oval gravel (ciottolone) of green serpentinite, smoothed at the base to stand stable. Found in the course of the excavations on the Colle di Castello of Genova (see Milanese 1987: 71–111), in one of a number of post holes which were uncovered, together with fireplaces, on the top of the hill (Bermond Montanari 1980b: 530 f., sector O1 according to Milanese 1987: 71). Bermond Montanari assumes that the stone was a tomb marker which was at some point moved into the settlement context; differently Sassatelli 2008: 338, who considers the stone to be a weight. Cf. the similar ciottolone NO·22, the stone NO·29 from a settlement context, and the inscribed ceramics found in a post hole in Via Mantegna.
The stratum in which the stone was found is dated to the 5th century in Milanese 1987: 71. See the inscription page on the palaeographical dating.
