View Potter record

Potter's Mark	L.LVRI PRO CRESCES
Die no	1
Reading	L LVRI PRO/CRESCES
Reading (Tomlin)	[L] . LVRI PRO [C]RESCES
Comments on the Readings (Tomlin)	The medial point left of L implies an abbreviated praenomen has been lost, but with hint of the horizontal stroke of L below it. [C]RESCES is a 'Vulgar' spelling of Crescens. Since it is nominative and LVRI genitive, KH is right to separate them, understanding 'Cresce(n)s (the slave) of Lurius Pro(...)', surely Pro(culus).
Two line Stamp	TL
Notes	For L. LVRIVS PROCVLVS CRESCE(n)- Crescens is a slave. Provenance unknown, thought to be from Italy, bought by Cambridge Mus. 1891.
