Description
Book SynopsisThe trade in Athenian pottery flourished from the early sixth until the late fifth century BCE, finding an eager market in Etruria. Most studies of these painted vases focus on the artistry and worldview of the Greeks who made them, but Sheramy Bundrick shifts attention to their Etruscan customers, trade networks, and archaeological contexts.
