Commentary
First published in Frigerio & Luraschi 1973: 66, no. 3.
Images in Frigerio & Luraschi 1973: 67, fig. 2 (photo) and tav. I.4 (drawing = Frigerio 1975: tav. IX.3 = Tibiletti Bruno 1977b: 120), Morandi 2004: 656, fig. 24.201 (drawing).
Inscribed upside-down on the bottom of the patera. Tibiletti Bruno 1977b: 120–122, no. 104 c reads prn, but the hasta of putative rho is very slightly curved – maybe omicron? See also De Marinis 1986: 75, no. 7, Gambari & Colonna 1988: 163, no. 12, Tibiletti Bruno 1990b: 111.
