Commentary

Images in Poggiani Keller 2003b: 103, fig. 4.5 (drawing), Morandi 2003: 134, fig. 21 (photo).

Small olla, found by the wall of one of the tombs at the Campo sportivo site and probably belonging to the bier on which the deceased was carried (Poggiani Keller 2003b: 103). Dating from Tizzoni 1981: 27 and Poggiani Keller 2003b: 101; Morandi 2007: 301 (no. 32) gives the 2nd–1st century BC.
