That may be all the more interesting as we have votive contexts associated with, or at least very near to, the large public well we uncovered in I.1.1. Let me know if you'd like more info on them and their contexts - always happy to share. <br /><br />Steven EllisSteven Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07174340866919117160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728728589367879262.post-2697976471021770622015-03-11T10:59:05.355+00:002015-03-11T10:59:05.355+00:00Whoops - putting in the picture, I managed to dele...Whoops - putting in the picture, I managed to delete an important paragraph. It said that the VI.1 coperchi were all from the Well area in primary and deliberately re-deposited contexts and that the Well area becomes the focus of a cross-roads shrine probably in the Augustan period when the well was made obsolete by the new piped water supply. The cross-roads shrine was in the charge of male magistrates. Hence the suggestion that the arrangements might have changed.
