Commentary
First published in Bianchetti 1895: 69 (no. 13), 283. Examined for LexLep on 20th April 2024.
Inscribed in a straight line on the foot of the cup (length 5.4 cm); the glaze along the incised lines is abraded, but the reading is unambiguous. Since pusionis in this Latin inscription is hardly a patronymic genitive, the most plausible interpretation of the form is as a cognomen in the genitive: 'of Publius Pusio'; the inscription would thus be an owner's, as likely for the majority of inscriptions from In Persona, e.g. VB·11 and VB·12 found in the same grave. Neither name is etymologically Celtic.
A lopsided chevron is incised on the inside wall below the rim, and (unless it is just damage) also on the foot below the inscription (
).
