Commentary
Images in Crivelli 1973b: tav. 11.20 (drawing), Crivelli 1977: tav. 1 (drawing), Morandi 1999: pl. II.1 (photo = Morandi 2004: 728, tav. V.3).
The unglazed cup is one of the objects claimed by Domenico Pini to have been excavated by him in June/July 1901 at the Giubiasco necropolis, but may have been bought, or found at nearby Pianezzo (Tori et al. 2004: 27 f., 64 f., 69). The forged grave complex is described in Tori et al. 2004: 242 f. See also Ulrich 1914 I: 611.
The dating follows De Marinis & Biaggio Simona 2000 II: 462, no. 533. Morandi's dating (1999: 161, no. 3 and 2004) to the first half of the 1st century BC must be disregarded, as it is based on the forged association with a gens Vibia coin (86–81 BC).
