English: Drag. 29 found in Wiesbaden. Stamp OF AQVITANI. In James Curle, 1917, p. 148, fig. 16. Curle says this about it:
« the narrow, almost vertical, rim in such early bowls as figs. 11 and 12 has given place to a wider and more everted pattern with strongly marked rouletting, a feature characteristic of most of the bowls of type 29, produced in the second half of the first century. The scroll ornament which fills the upper zone is much more conventional than those we have just examined. It is a design which must have continued in use for a considerable period. It is to be seen, for example, on a bowl of Vitalis found in Pompeii. Indeed, there is little to distinguish this specimen from the bowls of the Flavian period, except the volute ornamentation recalling the uncoiled frond of a fern, which covers the lower zone. In this we have a feature—probably a metal derivative—which can be traced back to the potters of Arezzo and Puteoli, and which by the reign of Nero had probably disappeared. » (Curle 1917, p. 147-148)
