Biography: Roman potter or owner of a pottery workshop, making lamps. More examples of his products have been found in Africa than in Italy, though he must have had a large export trade. It has been suggested that he had a workshop in Cadiz, but his main centre of production must have been in the Tunisian part of Africa Proconsularis.
