Commentary
Images in Bermond Montanari 1980b: LXXXVII a and b (photos), Milanese 1987: 75, fig. 38 (drawing of the find spot) and 76, fig. 39 (photo in situ), Arcà & Rubat Borel 2024: 37, fig. 10 (photo).
Large, roughly oval gravel (ciottolone) of green serpentinite, 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, stratum IV according to Milanese 1987: 71 and Colonna 2004: 303). There seems to be agreement that the stone was stood upright (Colonna 2004: 303, Arcà & Rubat Borel 2024: 37). Bermond Montanari and Rubat Borel ibid. assume 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 San Bernardino di Briona, the stone NO·29 Castelletto Ticino 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.
