| HISTORY OF FRAGMENT |
| Like the majority of FUR fragments, this piece was discovered in 1562 in a garden behind the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian. From here, it was transferred to the Palazzo Farnese and stored there. The fragment was later used as building material in a 17th c. Farnese construction, the Secret Garden, and it was rediscovered in 1888 or 1898 when the walls of the garden near the Via Giulia were demolished. Since then, it has been stored with the other known FUR fragments in various places: The storerooms of the Commissione Archeologica (1888/1898-1903), the Antiquarium Comunale (1924-1939), the Capitoline Museums (1939-1955), the Palazzo Braschi (1955-1998), and since 1998 in the Museo della Civiltà Romana in EUR under the auspices of the Sovraintendenza ai Beni Culturali del Comune di Roma (This fragments history corresponds to Iter E as summarized in PM 1960, p. 56). N.B. PM 1960 does not indicate the location of the fragment between 1903 and 1924.
