Glass base fragment of a cylindrical bottle
Translucent light blue green.
Fragment with only small parts of sides of cylindrical body remaining; round bottom with central pontil scar.
Base stamp comprising Latin inscription between two concentric lines and raised circular band around hollow center.
Complete bottom, broken from body with jagged edges; pinprick and larger bubbles; faint iridescent weathering.
The fragment bears a stamp with the name of the maker, Q(uintus) Casius Nocturnus. All of the recorded bottles with his stamp have been found in northeastern France (Côte-d’Or), except for this piece, which would appear to have come from Cyprus.
