Commentary

First published in IR.
Pictures in Nothdurfter 1979: 101 (785) (drawing), IR (drawing) and Mancini 2010 (photo and drawing).
No white inlay in the third oblique stroke of E s. After E s a rivet, then, next to the heavily corroded end, traces of another sign (possibly A s). On the other end, slightly higher than the inscription, a symbol like a lopsided asterisk.
