The excavations conducted in Casa III M led to the discovery of two tiles fragments and a tessera nummularia. The tile fragments are published here for the first time: one bears the stamp of the gens Vinicia whose members distributed their products along the Lazio- Campania coast and as far as Lipari; the other is associated with stamps produced by Manius Otacilius Catulus, also attested at Cignana (AG). As for the tessera nummularia, which has been previously published, this paper proposes a partially revised interpretation: the slave responsible for the spectatio may have been employed by a woman named Aelia, for whom several possible identifications are discussed.
Gli scavi condotti nella Casa III M hanno portato alla scoperta di due frammenti di tegole e di una tessera nummularia. I frammenti di tegole vengono presentati per la prima volta in questa sede: l’uno rimanda alla gens Vinicia, i cui membri esportarono le proprie tegole in vari centri della costa laziale, campana e a Lipari, l’altro ai bolli prodotti da Manio Otacilio Catulo, peraltro attestati anche a Cignana (AG). Della tessera nummularia, già edita, si fornisce nell’articolo una lettura parzialmente diversa da quella proposta in precedenza: lo schiavo responsabile della spectatio sarebbe stato alle dipendenze di una donna, Aelia, per la cui identificazione sono formulate alcune ipotesi.

Abstract
The excavations conducted in Casa III M led to the discovery of two tiles fragments and a tessera nummularia. The tile fragments are published here for the first time: one bears the stamp of the gens Vinicia whose members distributed their products along the Lazio- Campania coast and as far as Lipari; the other is associated with stamps produced by Manius Otacilius Catulus, also attested at Cignana (AG). As for the tessera nummularia, which has been previously published, this paper proposes a partially revised interpretation: the slave responsible for the spectatio may have been employed by a woman named Aelia, for whom several possible identifications are discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
