Spherical goblet of the Déchelette 72 type, with missing rim. The general morphology, the profile of the foot and the small size of the beaker suggest that the vase was made at the earliest in the last quarter of the 2nd century, but could hardly have been made before the beginning of the 3rd century AD. (oral communication by R. Delage). The small size of the vase makes it easy to hold for individual use.
Height of the letters: between 3 mm and 3.7 mm.
