ABA 3. Attic Base.
Present location: Caputi Square, Croton.
266
Description: Like the previous two artifacts, this Attic base comes from the sea, but it is
never mentioned in P. Orsi’s reports, nor in the reports available in the archives of Reggio
Calabria’s archaeological museum. The base is finished. The plinth supports first a torus,
then a cyma is visible between two splines, surmounted by a second, thinner torus. Two
corners are cut off, and the upper surface is lightly eroded. The Greek letter “K” is incised
on the upper disc.
