Summary edit

Description
English: Gallo-roman fragment of flask in yellowish clay, found in Klagenfurt. Signed ACASTVS-ACO, a potter who worked in the area of Savoy or Piemont during the Augustean périod (turn of the first millenium) and who was inspired by the aretine sigillata technique and style of signature. He himself inspired his type of decorations to the fabric of Saint-Rémy-en-Rollat (in centre Gaul): a kind of arcading with floriated points. The inscription on this shard says: "Life is short, hope is frail. Come, [the ligths] are kindled; let us drink, comrades, while it is light. Drawing by H.B. Walters, History of ancient pottery...', p. 518, fig. 225.
Français : Fragment de flasque en argile jaunâtre, trouvé à Klagenfurt (Autriche). Signé ACASTVS-ACO, un pottier qui a travaillé dans la région de Savoie ou Piémont à l'époque d'Auguste (tournant du 1er millénaire). Il a été inspiré par la technique de la sigillée arétine et par son mode de signature. A son tour il a inspiré les potiers de Saint-Rémi-en-Rollat (Gaule centrale) avec son type de décor en arcades aux pointes terminées par des motifs fleuris. L'inscription sur ce fragment dit : "la vie est courte, l'espoir est fragile. Venez, [les lumières] sont allumées. Buvons, camarades, pendant qu'il y a de la lumière." Dessin par H.B. Walters, History of ancient pottery...', p. 518.
