Roman samian bowl, decorated
(With sherds in 367; 299 (Phase 6); 192, 398 (Phase 8); 144, 180 and possibly 152 (Phase 9)). One panel in the upper zone has two identical dogs to the right, one above the other, chasing a hare. The lower zone has a wreath of trifid motifs and a zone of festoons, one containing a swan to left (Hermet 1934, pl. 28, 35). All the elements of this zone and also the dog to the right and the rosettes, appear on Form 29 from the civil settlement at Doncaster (Dickinson 1986, pl. 38, 158). One of the characteristics of the potter is his use of beaded borders, unusual in South Gaul, but also occasionally used by Severus ii, with whom there may be some connection. The wreath, dog to the right, and, probably, the hare to the right are on Form 37 by the same potter from Fishbourne, in a context before 75 (Dannell 1971, no. 19).
