LA SITULA BRONZEA DI S. MARCO A PIAZZA VENEZIA : UNA PROPOSTA DI RILETTURA

This paper is concerned with a bronze situla, found in Rome, near the church of S. Marco, at the end of the nineteenth century. The surface of the bucket shows a particular and discussed Christian iconography, which had different interpretations by several writers. It seems appropriate to present this object again, to consider its ephigraphic aspects, not valued before. They can be important to understand and to define its better date between the end of the fourth and the beginning of the fifth century and the credible provenience of the precious situla from Constantinople.
