Commentary

Fragment of the foot and bottom of a black-varnished patera ascribed to Rondineto by Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 205, no. 27 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).
