ArchAIDE Stamps

2195 - C. TITIVS (NEPOS?), slave PHASIS

Date Min: -27 - Date Max: 14

Internal stamps on plain ware produced in Central Italy. These stamps are dated on: Consp. B 1.2 might be expected to be earlier than 10 BC, Consp. 26/27 after AD 1. I am puzzled by these stamps, several of which are on platters of fairly early profile, not entirely consistent with the output and chronology of C. TITIVS NEPOS, to which HC reasonably attributed type 2 (the form of which would be fine for him). They are, however, clearly Central Italian and an association with him is far more likely than with C. TETTIVS. Types 3 and 4 may indicate a change of status, but the evidence is too weak to justify a separate entry! More »
