Findspot Description

• Findspot

  • Description: Ostia, Terme dei Cisiarii, 1972-73 excavations. Found in Room C (the frigidarium) of the baths, in a stratified context dated from the late Antonine to the Severan period. This particular token was found with 2 other tokens in C7, which was the cleaning of Room C. Spagnoli suggested that all the tokens found in the room may have been a homogeneous deposit that was later dispersed.
  • Findspot: Ostia Antica (Italy)
