Autun: terracotta goblet with inscription (Musee Rolin; photo Athena Review 2012)
This 4th century AD terracotta goblet has the word AVE inscibed around its lower wall, with the letters separated by circles.
The inscription may pertain to Early Christian ritual, as Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in the early 4th century.
