Remarks
The find has been attributed to the Villanova del Ghebbo site, "Boaria Traverso" as no other weight from this municipality has been found within the Museum of the Great Rivers, as indicated in CAV. The dating has been attributed on the basis of the chronological indications of Atria 1989, pp. 226-227, no. 196.
Examined first-hand.
