Commentary
Image in Perani 2003: 189, fig. 4.37 (drawing = Jorio 2003: 206, fig. 1.5), Morandi 2003: 125, fig. 2 (photo).
Nine small fragments forming part of a terra sigillata patera (referred to as a coppetta in Morandi 2003: 125, no. 2) found in tomb 3 of the Colabiolo section of the Verdello necropolis. See Perani 2003: 188–190, no. 37 for a detailed description, and ibid. 184–192 and Fortunati & Corti 2003: 163 f. for details about the grave and its inventory. In the same grave was found BG·32 Verdello as well as a bowl of black-glazed ware (St 139459) bearing a Latin graffito (Morandi 2003: 125, no. 1 and fig. 1). Dating according to Fortunati 2007: 591 for Colabiolo; Morandi 2004 gives the 1st century BC, but see also Jorio 2003: 205.
