"American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Publication","Agora","","","Terracottas and Plastic Lamps of the Roman Period","Agora:Publication:Agora 6","The volume contains a short introduction, a classification by types, a critical catalogue, a register of the dated contexts, concordances and indexes, and an excursus by T. B. L. Webster on the theatrical figurines. Nearly half of the 1,100 items are illustrated with photographs. The subjects of the (mostly fragmentary) figurines are revealing. To the Greek deities of earlier times are added Oriental figures like Serapis, Isis, Harpokrates, Attis, as well as Egyptian priests and Asiatic dancers. The molded “plastic” lamps that are included in this volume were probably made in the same workshops as the figurines.","1961","Grandjouan, C.","Agora VI","","Agora:Image:2009.09.0037::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0037.jpg::104::150",""
"American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Publication","Agora","","","Lamps of the Roman Period: First to Seventh Century after Christ","Agora:Publication:Agora 7","Nearly 3,000 specimens of lamps of “Roman” character are catalogued in this volume that covers the period from the 1st century B.C. to the 8th century A.D. The lamps are not easy to classify because the appearance of the clay used is not an infallible guide to the place of manufacture and the molds used to create the shapes were used widely around the Mediterranean. Terracotta lamps were probably made for local consumption in most cities of Greece; only a few centers, notably Athens and Corinth, developed an export trade capable of competing with local manufacturers. Since lamps from Athens do appear at other sites, the presentation of a well-dated sample of these finds provides useful reference material for scholars working at other sites.","1961","Perlzweig, J.","Agora VII","","Agora:Image:2009.09.0038::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0038.jpg::104::150",""
"The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Publication","Agora","","","Roman Pottery: Fine-Ware Imports","Agora:Publication:Agora 32","Examples of Roman period red-gloss and red-slip pottery generally termed terra sigillata found during excavations in the Athenian Agora form the focus of this volume. These fine wares, like the other table wares of the first seven centuries A.D. discussed here, were all imported—a very different situation to earlier periods where Athens was known as a great ceramic-making center, and perhaps the result of mass destruction of potters’ workshops during the Sullan sack of 86 B.C. While the image of a demolished pottery industry is tragic, the consequent conglomeration of finewares from many parts of the Roman empire in one city makes the Athenian Agora a tremendous source of comparanda for archaeologists working all round the Mediterranean. Written by the world’s leading expert on Roman pottery, this huge catalogue illustrating and identifying multiple shapes and types of decoration will therefore be an essential reference book.","2008","Hayes, J.","Agora XXXII","","Agora:Image:2009.09.0062::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0062.jpg::104::150",""
