Abstract
Within the context of the studies on Albinia, a series of tile stamps will be considered for the first time. According to the authors who studied them for other sites, they can be read as "VOLUS". The highest concentration of this epigraphic evidence in Albinia renders likely the hypothesis that also this production should be referred to the furnaces brought to light during the investigations carried out by the Department of Archaeology. The specific stratigraphic relationships between the tiles and the VOLUS stamp in the context of the structures of the atelier of Albinia, also shed new light on the epoch of their manufacture, which should be placed around the second half of the I century AD.
