Among the Forum vases that look late are some skyphoi like the “Later Ionic” of Sieveking and Hackl’s Munich Catalogue, _e.g._ _Notiz._ 1903, p. 137, fig. 17, pp. 407 f., figs. 36, 42, 55, 57 (the last two from the same grave as fig. 53, see _ibid._ fig. 52). These skyphoi are closely related to a series of small, flat, handleless bowls similarly decorated, _Notiz._ 1903, p. 137, fig. 17, p. 388, figs. 14, 15 (grave G), p. 409, fig. 39 (grave I), p. 425, fig. 56 (grave K): for the stylistic connexion cp. _Notiz._ 1903, p. 425, fig. 56 (handleless bowl) with _ibid._ fig. 57 (skyphos). The context in which they were found at Rome points to a date not later than fairly early in the sixth century: _Notiz._ 1903, p. 137, fig. 17, was found acting as a lid (see _ibid._ fig. 16) to the skyphos _ibid._ fig. 17 of the later Ionic style; _Notiz._ 1903, p. 388, figs. 14, 15, were found in a single skeleton grave (_ibid._ p. 385 and fig. 11) along with the Proto-Corinthian lekythos, p. 388, fig. 17, that is probably of the seventh century, and other vases that are probably of the sixth: fig. 39 is from a single skeleton grave that contained also the “later Ionic” skyphoi, figs. 36, 42 (_ibid._ p. 400 and figs. 28, 31); fig. 56 is from a single skeleton grave and had a similar context (_ibid._ p. 418 and fig. 52). All these handleless cups (figs. 14, 15, 39, 56) are pierced near the brim with pairs of small holes. This is a practice known in Greek pottery of the Geometric and Proto-Corinthian period (_J.H.S._ XXX. p. 241, n. 42: add _Notiz._ 1895, p. 238, found in the same grave with two sixth century black figure vases. Two vases apparently somewhat similar in shape, style, and decoration to this flat, handleless series, but without the bored holes, were found at Rhitsona in graves of the end of the sixth century, _Arch. Eph._ 1912, p. 115, fig. 15) but not to black and red figure Attic pottery: it occurs on the probably seventh century cup from grave M, _Notiz._ 1905, pp. 151, 155, figs. 9, 12.
