Pottery jug, Rome Alison E. Cooley AEC/ASHL AN1967.1542.xml Oxford Ashmolean Museum AN1967.1542 AshLI 385

A small one-handled pottery jug, in good condition, except for some chipping around the edges.

Dimensions: 0.078 diameter of base, 0.035

The letters are scratched upon the surface, across the centre of the jug in two lines, the second indented below the first (by three letters). The text should perhaps read D PATRONI K APRILI, and a possible text is tentatively suggested below.

 Rome According to the Accession Register, it was transferred from Gloucester City Museum (no.1417), but had originally come from Rome. Photograph Photograph
