Description

The Tita Vendia vase is a ceramic impasto pithos (wine container[2]), crafted around 620-600 BC,[3] most likely in Rome.[4] The pithos, which exists only as an incomplete set of sherds,[5] carries one of two earliest known inscriptions in Latin language (the Vendia inscription)[2] and is usually, but not unanimously, interpreted as the earliest instance of a bipartite female Latin name with praenomen and gentilicum.[1]
