Although every object of antiquity possesses a certain interest for the archaeologist, still that interest is much increased when a number are found together, and under circumstances which imply that they were contemporaneous.
A “find” of special interest was made in the year 1817 at Albano, and described in a letter from Dr. A. Visconti to Signor G. Carnevali di Albano. Since however this letter does not give a complete description of the antiquities in question, and is moreover not easily accessible to archaeologists, we have thought that a more complete account would be acceptable to the Society, the pottery belonging to this find being of peculiar interest.
