Commentary
Large, completely preserved terra sigillata cup type Dragendorff 31, found in the inhumation grave no. 153 of the In Persona necropolis, together with VB·11 Ornavasso and VB·12 Ornavasso (see Bianchetti 1895: 282 f. with the grave inventory). The stamp on the inside bottom is that of L. Mag() Vir(), a potter(y) active in the Po valley between 40 and 120 AD (OCK no. 1085); it is the same as on VB·12 Ornavasso. Dating from Morandi.
