Commentary

Image in Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 283, tav. XI.24 (photo = Morandi 1999: 202, tav. XV.2 = Morandi 2004: 800, tav. XXIII.167).

Fragment of the foot of a ceramic vessel of reddish clay, found at Rondineto in unspecified context, but apparently in a tomb (Garovaglio 1883: 20, no. 4, 21). Generic dating to G III A above is given in accordance with the overall dating of the Rondineto graffiti (De Marinis & Motta 1991: 214).
