Commentary
Images in Tizzoni 1984: tav. XLIV e (drawing = Solinas 1995: 367, no. 109), Frontini 1985: tav. 16.12 (drawing).
Black-glazed cup imitating type Lamboglia 16. See Tizzoni 1984: 72, no. 3 for a description (also Frontini 1985: 113). Dating according to Tizzoni 1984: 72 (cf. Frontini 1985: 113 "età augustea"); Morandi gives the beginning of the 1st century BC, Tibiletti Bruno 1984: 123 the 1st century AD. The cup is one of five ceramic objects which were acquired by the museum in 1877, the catalogue saying that they are from a Roman grave near Parabiago (Tizzoni 1984: 72). The objects may come from an Augustan/Flavian necropolis found in 1877 between the cemetery and railway line (coordinates above); see Volonté 1996: 23 f., 36, n. 9.
