Commentary

First published in Molinari 1974: 71–73. Examined for LexLep on 27th April 2022.

Images in Molinari 1974: 72, fig. 2 (drawing), Tizzoni 1984: tav. LXXX d (drawing = [traced] Morandi 2004: 621, fig. 19.133).

Inscribed on the foot of the bowl (length 3.2 cm); sigma is taller than the other letters. The sequence uisa can be interpreted as a personal name; see Molinari 1974: 72 f., Tibiletti Bruno 1984: 123, and the word page for details. Cf. MI·4 from the same grave.
