Description: | A base fragment with roughly half of the foot-ring from a Roman (AD 100-200) Samian ware cup, Dragendorff Form 33. It has an incomplete stamp on the inside surface, VOSECNN.Measures 47.44x28.18x14.35mm and weighs 11.2g. The original diameter of the foot ring would have been c.40mm. The stamp measures 22.78x(max)3.76mm.Stamps are usually found on the inside of the dish or bowl where they are visible, instead of underneath. Rachael Seager Smith (Wessex Archaeology) comments "Unfortunately the volume containing the samian potters' stamps beginning with V isn't published yet, so the closest I can get is to suggest that it belongs to VOSECVNNVS who worked at Les Martres de Veyre (exports reaching Britain AD 100-125) and possibly at Lezoux (exporting to Britain AD 120 - late C2nd AD) as well or instead, so a date somewhere in the 2nd century AD is most likely" (pers.comm.).
