FOOTNOTES:
The period of activity of several well-known workshops—L M A D I E C , L M V N S V C , E R O T I S , G A B M E R C , and L M S V —is late Flavian to Trajanic, possibly Hadrianic.Based on this, we will not refer to the broader and too approximate dating given by Bailey to his group IV: Claudian to Trajanic.
