Late Archaic period, ca. 530 BCE
From Velletri (ancient Velitrae; see on Pleiades), temple under the church of the SS. Stimmate di S. Francesco ("Tempio delle Stimmate"), found in 1784 by Cardinal Stefano Borgia

The moldmade terracotta revetment plaques from Velletri are one of the defining groups of the so-called "Veio-Roma-Velletri" (or "Roma-Veio-Velletri") decorative system used to decorate monumental structures at those three sites and others in the region in the third quarter of the 6th c. BCE.
