Discus Iconography: Bust of Emperor Domitian to right, wearing laurel wreath tied with streamers(?). Description: Moldmade. Ring handle. Shoulder: Loeschcke form VIII b, with heavy relief ovules. Filling-hole at right. Nozzle form Bus. 4e. Blurred base marked off by one circular groove. Potter's incuse signature: SLMRMEVO; above and below, small double-circles; letters L and O are smaller than the others, as is usual for this signature; this is a nonsense inscription. The lamp is a fake, purchased in Italy.
