Commentary
Image in Morandi 1999: pl. X.4 (photo = Morandi 2004: 788, tav. XI.62).
Damaged olpe, painted with concentric brown circles, found in grave 79 in the locality Selvareggia; a hole in the side has been repaired with the fragments, but neck and handle are missing. (Erroneously referred to as a vaso a trottola by Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 166, no. 13.) The grave is dated to the early Imperial age by Graue 1974: 154 (and implicitly by Piana Agostinetti 1972, who does not include it), but the object may be somewhat older (cf. ibid. p. 110 f. and VA·25 Arsago Seprio).
