118x107mm, fragment of a fine ware bowl
Roman Imperial, 1st to 2nd Century A.D.
Terra sigillata as an archaeological term refers chiefly to a specific type of plain and decorated tableware made in Italy and in Gaul (France and the Rhineland) during the Roman Empire
The wares made in the Gaulish factories are often referred to by English-speaking archaeologists as samian ware
Closely related pottery fabrics made in the North African and Eastern provinces of the Roman Empire are not usually referred to as terra sigillata, but by more specific names, e.g
South Gaulish bowl, Dr.37, from the late 1st century AD, with a stamp of the potter Mercato in the decoration
