Campana relief / tile

Campana reliefs (also Campana tiles) are Ancient Roman terracotta reliefs made from the middle of the first century BC until the first half of the second century AD. They are named after the Italian collector Giampietro Campana, who first published these reliefs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campana_reliefs

Le lastre Campana sono dei rilievi in terracotta, anticamente dipinti, utilizzate come rivestimenti per la decorazione di edifici pubblici e privati, a partire dal secondo quarto del I secolo a.C.
Il loro nome riprende quello del marchese Giampietro Campana che nella prima metà dell'Ottocento ne aveva raccolta una ricca collezione, di cui pubblicò il catalogo nel 1842, poi venduta nel 1861 e dispersa tra diversi musei.
