Franco Fontana Valerio Massimo Manfredi
FRANCO FONTANA VALERIO MASSIMO MANFREDI FRANCO photographs FONTANA VALERIO MASSIMO MANFREDI story: regina viarum regina viarum regina viarum 7 First came a route which marked the social and economical history of a complex country called the U.S.A., then a trail, laboriously trodden by European pilgrims since the year one thousand, and now a road belonging to the ancient world, one of the main commercial and cultural routes of the Roman Empire. The Appian Way is the last protagonist of a trilogy narrating the routes covered by a group of friends with a common passion for travelling. Once again the pictures of photographer Franco Fontana and the words of writer Valerio Massimo Manfredi, expert of ancient history, have succeeded in capturing the essence of a route whose fascination is rooted the very origins of our country. My personal participation in this journey and Transmec Group’s involvement in the project go further than simple sponsoring; we have, rather, taken a concept and brought it to life; developed, studied and accomplished an idea through modern forms of expression. Transmec has always been attentive to requests and proposals coming from the world of art and culture, offering our support to novel ideas and to their promoters. A commitment which rises directly from the fundamental features of a company operating worldwide: an innovative spirit and the ability to keep up with the times. This volume personifies the close relationship that exists between our work, transport, expeditions, global communication and photography: the ability to connect people and things which are far away from each other; to erase distances and spread ideas, facts and events. -

The Natural History of a Caeretan Hydria
BABESCH 91 (2016), 69-85. doi: 10.2143/BAB.91.0.3175644 The Natural History of a Caeretan Hydria John K. Papadopoulos Abstract One of the most extraordinary renderings of various sea creatures is the well-known and often-published Caere- tan hydria now in the Niarchos Collection. In contrast to the accurately rendered seal, which is rare in Greek art of all periods, octopus, and dolphins, the central creature that dominates the scene is usually considered as an imaginary sea monster, a ketos. The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the central creature is no sea monster, but a fairly accurate representation of one of the most elusive creatures of the sea: an oarfish, of the family Regalecidae. For Jaap Hemelrijk One of the most remarkable illustrations from as Boardman notes, for all its charm, the Phokaia- Classical antiquity of sea creatures on a single mermaid story has no authority.7 object prior to the Roman period is the celebrated Despite these disparate labels, there was con- Caeretan hydria now in the Stavros S.

Ceramic Production in Roman-Age Apulia: Lychnological Contexts
Ceramic production in Roman-age Apulia: lychnological contexts Abstract: Archaeological research in Apulia have given solid grounds for a historical characteristic of the region, specifying the nature of settlements and their socio-economic environment in the Roman age. But production centers, primarily pottery workshops, as well as commonly traded shapes, trade routes and consumer centers still are in need of comprehensive study. For this purpose a targeted examination of Apulia et Calabria has been launched, identifying places and modalities of pottery production from the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD on the grounds of both permanent installations and mobile finds. This contribution, which takes advantage of the documentation collected within the frame of this research, seeks to identify and contextualize sites where clay oil lamps were being produced, through the scopes of production continuity/discontinuity and the modalities of settlement, craft, economy and commerce. Keywords: Apulia et Calabria, urban and landscape archaeology, Roman archaeology, clay oil lamps, Roman pottery, material culture The results of 30 years of rural and urban landscape archaeology research in the region of Apulia et Calabria, coinciding more or less with modern Puglia [Fig. 1], have given a solid base for reconstructing an articu- lated framework of settlement history and related so- cio-economic issues (Grelle and Volpe 1994; Silvestrini Custode Silvio Fioriello 2005; De Mitri 2010; Mangiatordi 2011; Volpe 2011; Small 2014b; Fioriello 2017).

Black-Glazed, Red-Figure, and Grey Ware Pottery
30448_panskoye_pc_.qxd 06-10-02 14:05 Side 127 BLACK-GLAZED, RED-FIGURE, AND GREY WARE POTTERY Lise Hannestad, Vladimir F. Stolba, Helene Blinkenberg Hastrup This chapter deals with the black-glazed (B 4-219) and grey ware pottery (B 220-242) from U6, and also includes three red-figure fragments found in the complex (B 1-3). RED-FIGURE POTTERY (B 1-3) Three pieces of Attic red-figure pottery were found in U6 (Pls. 68 and 70). B 1 is a small sherd, probably of a stemless cup, with the head and shoulders of a satyr. The style is early 4th century, and this piece undoubtedly derives from the period prior to the construction of U6, where it probably came to rest when already broken. B 3 is the upper part of an askos in a very late Kertch style. It remains an open question whether it was complete and in use in the initial phase of U6, or whether, by that time, only the upper part was kept for the sake of the painted decoration with the four heads. BLACK-GLAZED WARE (B 4-219) A number of the pieces of black-glazed ware are undoubtedly of Attic origin, whereas this is uncertain for others, and some are definitely from other, not yet localised centres, as indi- cated by the types of clay, and in particular the inclusion of minerals, which can be identi- fied in many of the black-glazed vessels from U6, but are, according to Rotroff, not visible in Attic pottery of the Hellenistic period.1 The Black Sea area was certainly the most impor- tant export area for Attic pottery in the 4th century and the early Hellenistic period,2 and no other similarly important source of black-glazed pottery found in that region has yet been suggested. -
192 Introduction
192 Introduction Antiquities are easily described in just a few simple words: ‘objects, buildings or works of art from ancient times’. This perhaps rather stark definition, although true, fails to capture the elusive magic that one can experience in the presence of something thousands of years old. Often whilst examining an antiquity, turning it about in our hands, it is not unusual to encounter a moment of illumination that brings it to life. This sudden revelation may be caused by a dribble of paint (the result of a too-full brush), the short parallel marks of the sculptor’s chisel on stone, or the thumbprint the potter left when the clay was still wet. At such instances something remarkable happens: the centuries roll away and we are next to the ancient artist or craftsman, someone just like ourselves in many respects but living in an utterly different world. This is a strangely moving experience, unnerving, direct and personal; more immediate than walking through archaeological sites, temples or tombs. Time contracts and we become part of a great continuum. It is akin to listening to music or seeing a great painting and one of the thrills of civilisation. Used as we are to seeing antiquities locked inside glass cabinets in museums, it is easy to forget that, whether part of the paraphernalia of funerary rites, votive offerings or luxury goods for a wealthy elite, they were familiar elements of daily life in the ancient world. It is naturally a privilege to possess these objects which have, through accident or good fortune, survived the ravages of age. -
