Commentary
Terra sigillata cup of local production, type Dragendorff 31. The document is mentioned in Bianchetti 1895: 69 in the list of inscriptions from Ornavasso (no. 15) as being from tomb 153 at In Persona, but is not included in the inventory on p. 282 f. Though it is also misidentified as a "piatto cavo", the object, which is not mentioned anywhere else, is usually treated as part of the inventory of tomb 153, which contains two other inscribed terra sigillata objects (VB·12 Ornavasso, VB·13 Ornavasso); cf. Danielsson 1909: 31, n. 3. Dating according to Morandi.
