Findspot specifies the place of discovery along with its archaeological context. Dating may be determined by various criteria, such as associated epigraphy, archaeological context, or artifact typology, and can be either absolute (e.g., annus = a. 145 AD; anni = an. 149–161 AD) or relative (e.g., circa = ca. 145–149 AD; saecula = ss. II–III AD; terminus post quem = p.q. 41/42 AD; terminus ante quem = a.q. 10 AD).
