Commentary

Handle of a bronze situla.
Cp.: "(...) un frammento di manico di situla a sezione cilindrica (...)", Pellegrini 1951: 316.
Further indications are unknown due to the insufficient information made in the relevant literature e.g. Pellegrini 1951: 316, fig. 16 (only transcription of the inscription). In consequence of Pellegrini: Vetter 1954: 73; IR: 273; Schumacher 2004: 141). However Pellegrini, Vetter as well as Mancini and Schumacher only with regard to the inscription.
