Potter's MarkCIITTINVARI
Die no1
ReadingCIITTI(N)VARI
Reading (Tomlin)CIITTIVARI
Comments on the Readings (Tomlin)In the sequence of five vertical strokes, the middle pair are taller and apparently linked by a cross-stroke for TT. Before them, II for E, suggesting the Celtic name Cettus / Cettius (genitive Cetti). The next letter(s) are ligatured, whether NVA, NA or VA. VA is simplest and does not require N to be reversed. VARI would then be Cettius' cognomen Vari, or the second element in a name Cettivarus, either of them in the genitive.
