Commentary
Sanzeno bowl.
Fine clay, from light brown to dark brown in colour; inside, in the bottom area blackish in colour. Moderate tempered of fine grained sand and argentine mica; reduction firing; burnished. High neck with widely extending mouth rim and the typical omphalos; throat between neck and shoulder.
Decoration in form of a circumferential ribbon. In the belly area striae-decorations. Decorations before firing.
On the transition from the belly to the bottom characters.
The find date, 22.05.1901, given by Mancini is uncertain (cp. LIR: 103; the information reminds of the find date of SZ-29 bowl, SZ-52 bowl, SZ-54 bowl as well as SZ-83 bowl given also by Mancini, cp. LIR: 141 [No. SA-101] resp. LIR: 132 [No. SA-81], LIR: 110 [No. SA-49], LIR: 130 [No. SA-79] and LIR: 141 [No. SA-100]). Further find circumstances like exact find place are unknown.
In accord with the typology the bowl can be dated to the 3rd–2nd centuries BC. Zemmer-Plank specifies the dating of the bowl to about 250–120 BC (cp. Zemmer-Plank et al. 1985: 166).
Probably first published in Franz 1959: 228, however with particular regards to the inscription. In IR: 280 (No. 58) only a transcription of the inscription. In LIR: 103 (No. SA-40) an insufficient detail picture of the bowl.
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
