Potsherd CO·10 Rondineto with inscription CO·10 from Tibiletti Bruno 1969b

Commentary

Image in Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 279, tav. XII.10 (photo).

Fragment of the foot of a ceramic vessel, ascribed to Rondineto by Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 191, no. 10 without references – apparently a museum find, may come from the Galli excavations in the 1870s. Generic dating to G III A above is given in accordance with the overall dating of the Rondineto graffiti (De Marinis & Motta 1991: 214); Morandi: 5^th c. BC.
