Notes
- Note: Sambon records the presence in this hd.. of a number of Campano-Tarentine st.; Pozzi accordingly dates the burial c. 300 B.C. In view of the total absence of coins which can be dated between 400 and 300 B.C. Kraay regards the association of Campano-Tarentine st. as mistaken, and treats the hd. as a late 5th cent. burial
