Grafitos hispanos con el término urceus

Abstract

The only two epigraphic testimonies from Hispania of Latin graffiti with urceus term (i.e. jug) are collected. The first comes from Begastri (Cehegín, Murcia), and is graffiti incised on a plate of italic terra sigillata, so there is no correspondence between the message and the support; it is surely an insult or, perhaps, the indication that the urceus was placed on that plate. The second graffiti was found in Vareia (Varea, Logroño) and in this one there is a correspondence because the support is a jar. A new reading is proposed for this second graffiti, which should be read as urceus Felicul(i) (male) or Felicul(ae) (female).
