Commentary
Find circumstances: In 1883 a bronze situla filled with different kinds of bronze objects like fibulae and pendants was found on a ridge west of Dercolo. Moreover the situla contained a set of fortune rods (?Losstäbchen) (in latin sortes) and appliqués in the form of horses. After Mancini the situla was found in march 1882 (see Mancini 2010: 164).
Interpretation: The collection of the wealth deposit can be interpreted as a votive hoard.
