Commentary

Fragments of a terra sigillata vessel found in the inhumation grave no. 124 of the In Persona necropolis (see Bianchetti 1895: 269 f. with the grave inventory); the part on which a stamp would be is missing. Assumed to be in the Sezione archeologica "Enrico Bianchetti" of the Museo del Paesaggio in Ornavasso, but currently untraceable. Grave inventory, including an as of Divus Augustus, dated to Graue V. See also Graue 1974: 142 f., 267, Piana Agostinetti 1997–1999 III: 390 f., n. 1858.
