14 D'Assia, , ‘Discussione’, following Delogu, op. cit., p. 185Google Scholar, notes that the treasure from the Baxter Collection was divided between the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of National Antiquities at St.-Germain-en-Laye. While the objects of St.-Germain-en-Laye were said to come from Chiusi, it is now thought that they come from Castel Trosino. I am indebted to Francoise Valet for this information.
