    Such bowls are related to the form of Terra Sigillata according to several scholars. The period of their widest use is between 70 and 130 A.D. It was widely used throughout the western parts of the Empire, and especially in Italy. Similar bowls could also be found in the Eastern Mediterranean and were probably produced in Italic workshops, since there are numerous finds in Ticino.
