Fragment of the bottom and part of the rim of a patera, found in a single grave discovered during construction work and excavated in 1965 by the soprintendenza; see Negroni Catacchio 1974: 206–210 and Tizzoni 1984: 70 f. for details about the context, dating, and a description of the object (Tizzoni no. 3). Coordinates based on Frova 1960: 70, who notes that the tomb was found within 100 m of one discovered in 1959 in Via Roma 36. Cf. the similar MI·3 Paderno Dugnano and MI·5 Paderno Dugnano from the same grave. State inv. no. 7345.
