Commentary
Poids léger. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Type particulier pour l’atelier de Viminacium qui semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous présentons un exemplaire à la vente.
Lightweight. With all its surface silvering. A particular type for the Viminacium workshop, which seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have offered a example for sale.
