Commentary
Image in Bianchetti 1895: tav. XXII.24 (photo).
Elaborate terra sigillata cup type Dragendorff 24/25 found in the inhumation grave no. 40 of the In Persona necropolis (see Bianchetti 1895: 219 f. with inventory); preserved practically completely with only minor damage to the bottom. Decorated with a coil motif and flowers around the rim. The stamp is recorded as die no. 1164.2 MENO of the potter Meno() in OCK, but is rather that of M. Perennius Crescens (2) (OCK no. 1408, also recorded there, but not identified with the misread Meno), an Arretine potter active between 30 and 60 AD. Dating from Morandi.
