PREFACE
CCT ellenisticpotteryhasbeen neglected,anddeservedly." So wroteR M. Cookin 1960(GreekPainted

ILi Pottety,p.203).Whenviewedin the lightof the Classicalmasterpieces,Hellenisticceramicsmay
seem to have little to offer.Pottinghad becomea tradeoften pursuedby an indifferentcraftsman;the
proportionof ill-centered,ungainly,and poorlyfiredpots is large.But thereis still muchthatHellenistic
potterycan offer, to the archaeologist,certainly,and perhapseven to the art historian.
For the archaeologist Hellenisticpotterycanprovidewhatanypotteryprovides:a chronological frame-
work.Even the meanestfragmentmay serveto datea significantbuildingor deposit.Fortunately for the
Hellenistic
archaeologist, potteryis no longerneglected; in recent yearsthere has been increased interestin
the Hellenisticceramicsof manysitesaroundtheMediterranean. Severalvolumeshaveappearedandmore
are expectedsoon.
Whatcan Hellenisticpotteryofferto the art historian?The type of potterypresentedin this volume
representsthe firstlarge-scaleapplicationof the mold processto the productionof Greektableware.The
mold techniquehad earlierbeen appliedto terracotta figurinesandin a few instanceswasused to produce
pots of unusualdesign.Mostpottery,however,continuedto be wheelmadeandit was not untilthe intro-
ductionof the so-calledMegarianbowlthatmoldswereused on a largescale.Thesebowlsthereforestand
at the beginningof a long seriesof moldmadeceramics,whichincludessuch distinguished successorsas
Arretineand Wedgwoodpottery.
These vesselsalso representthe firstGreekexperimentin modularart.A limitednumberof motifs,
most of them stampedinto the moldswith small,re-usablemasters,reappearin countlessarrangements
andcombinations. Thismodularapproachto the decorationof the surfaceof the bowlis a comment,albeit
a naiveandprobablyunintentional one, on the relationship of the workof the artist/artisan
to the technolo-
gy of massproduction.It reflects,as does contemporary majorart,the redefinitionof humanpossibilities
thatcamewiththe disintegration of political,ideological,andartisticboundariesin the Hellenisticage.It is
a commentthathas been echoedmoreself-consciously by manyartistsin our own century;viewedin the
context of the art of the AmericanSixties, the bowls have a peculiarmodernity.
This book grewout of an interestin the Hellenisticworldkindledand encouragedby DorothyBurr

Thompson.Herlove forHellenisticminorartsandherabilityto reconstruct the fabricof antiquityfromthe
scrapsand remnantsthat are the archaeologist's portionhave inspiredtwo generationsof studentsand
scholars.The dedicationof this volumeto her is my inadequateexpressionof gratitude,respect,andlove
for her as a teacher,a scholar,and an individual.
The presentstudyis concernedwith only a smallpartof the Hellenisticpotteryfoundin the Ancient
Agoraof Athens:the moldmadehemispherical bowlswhichweremanufactured fromthe late 3rdto the
early1stcenturybeforeChrist.It is intendedas thefirstof twovolumes,the secondandlargerof whichwill
be devotedto the Hellenisticwheelmadepotteryfromthe Agora.I havereliedheavilyforformaton Agora
XII, which dealswith the Archaicand Classicalblackand plainpottery.I also owe much to G. Roger
Edwardsand his fine volumeon CorinthianHellenisticpottery.Edwardsdevotedyearsof studyto Athe-

SCOPEAND AIMS
This volume is a study of the Athenian version of the distinctivetype of Hellenistic vessel commonly
knownas the "Megarian bowl".Thisis an approximately hemispherical,moldmadebowl,withoutfoot or
handles,decoratedall overits exteriorsurfacewithdesignsandfiguresin relief.Thesebowlswerethe stan-
dardAtheniandrinkingvesselsfromthe late 3rdcenturyto the mid-lst century,takingoverthe function
formerlyserved by the kantharos.1What was drunkfrom them was most often wine, and the variedscenes
whichdecoratedthem wouldhavebeen particularly
suitableat symposia,wherethey wouldhaveserved
as conversation pieces, recalling myth, literature, theater, and so forth.2
Bowls foundin the excavationsof the AmericanSchoolof ClassicalStudiesin the AthenianAgora
between1931and 1973formthe basisof the presentstudy.The greatmajorityof the materialis Atticand
the conclusions reachedthereforeapply primarilyto Athenian bowls. Similarbowls were, of course, made
elsewhereas well, and some wereimportedto Athens.Examplesof importsthatmade theirway to the
Agoraappearat the end of the Catalogue.It wouldbe rashto drawconclusionsabouttheirdatesfromthe
Athenian bowls, which follow a pattern peculiar to themselves.
There are fragmentsof over 1400 Hellenistic moldmade relief bowls from dated contexts in the Agora.
About 800 of these were considered by the excavatorsto be of sufficient interest to be registeredin the
Agorainventory.About halfof thoseareincludedin the Cataloguein this volume.An attempthas been
madeto includeeverystampandeverysignificantvariationof shapeanddesign.Duplicatesandmanyfrag-
ments from undated or late contexts have been omitted. The bowls published by Thompson in his prelimi-
narystudy of Hellenistic potteryfrom the Agora3have also been omitted, althougha discussionof the dates
of Thompson'sdeposits(GroupsA-E) may be foundin the Appendix.Moreelaborateshapesbuilton a
havehave been treated only briefly; they will be studied in more detail in
moldmade hemisphere (406410)
conjunctionwith the totallywheelmadepotteryof the same shapes.
The bowlshavebeen consideredprimarilyas archaeological datingtools.Thereforeiconographical pro-
blems such as the relationshipof figuredgroupson the bowlsto knownor documentedmajorsculpture
have been left asidein this study.The primarygoal has been the establishmentof a reliablerelativeand
absolutechronologyfor Athenianmoldmadebowls. Hand in hand with this has gone an attemptto
isolate workshopsand assign dates to them. In this endeavoronly the firststeps have been taken,and it is to
be hopedthatthe discoveryof new materialwill enrichour knowledgeof the workshopsandthe relation-
ships betweenthem.
OF THE CATALOGUE
ARRANGEMENT
The bowls are arrangedin the Catalogueaccordingto type of decorationand subjectmatter,since these
are their most easily recognizablefeatures.Numbers in bold-face type refer to objects in the Catalogue.
1 The change from the kantharosto the moldmade relief bowl as a drinkingvessel is most strikinglyillustratedin Dipylon well
B-1 in the Kerameikos,where kantharoiare common in the lower fill (AbschnittenI-IV), which containedno moldmadebowls, but
rare in the upper fills (AbschnittenV-XMI),where moldmade bowls are common. See Braun, pp. 166-170.

specialproblems.Sincetheyweremadein moldsandcouldbe reproduced mechanically, it is not possible
to assignexactdatesto specificbowls.Even a relativechronologyis not easilyestablished.Shape,tech-

NOMENCLATURE
The term "Megarianbowl"is the fruitof archaeological misunderstanding. In 1883 Otto Benndorf
publisheda numberof plastercastsof hemispherical moldmadebowls.The originalsof thesecastswerein
variouscollectionsin Athensbutweresaidto havecomefromMegara.Benndorfthereforeidentifiedthem
withthe yuaAaqmentionedby Athenaiosas a bowlusedby theMegarians,4 andsubsequently theycameto
be known as "Megarianbowls".Furtherexcavationand study have shown that the bowls Benndorf
publishedwere manufactured in Athens and have no specialconnectionwith Megaraor the yu6Aaq.5

mustbe qualifiedby the adjective"Hellenistic".Since"Hellenistic

moldmadereliefbowl"is a cumbersome
term, the bowls will generallybe referredto simplyas "moldmadebowls"throughoutthis study.
Attemptsto determinethe ancientname for the bowls have not been entirelysatisfying.Athenaios
mentionsan Atheniandrinkingcup calledhpiTOpog,andit has been suggestedthatthiswasthe namethe
Atheniansappliedto their moldmadebowls.7Athenaios'sourcefor this informationis Pamphilos,an
Alexandriangrammarianof the 1st centuryafter Christ,who presumablyhad access to Hellenistic
Atheniansources.The fplTOpogmust have been hemispherical, but the namemay referto wheelmade
hemisphericalbowls, which were also made in Athens.
Athenaiosalso describesa Persiandrinkingcup calleda KOV6U.8 Thatthis vesselwas hemispherical
is
suggestedby the storythatthe KOV6Uwas originallya sortof crystalballin whichvisionsappeared.It was
used forlibations,and a hemispherical bowlservesthis purposein bothAchaemenidandArchaicGreek
representations.9 The comicpoets Menanderand Hipparchoseachuse the wordonce, connectingit with

Menanderspeaksof a goldKOVOU, Athe-
naiosof a silverone, andthe KOV6Uin the Delianinventorymusthavebeen of goldor silveras well.It is
clearfrom the datesof these sourcesthat the KOV6Uexistedwell beforethe introductionof moldmade
bowlsin the 220's.PerhapsKOV6Uwas the nameforthe vasesof preciousmetalwhichthe ceramicbowls
imitated;it might have been appliedto the imitationsas well.
TERMINOLOGY
The partsof the bowl may be describedas follows:

Medallion:the decorationof the bottomof the bowl, separatedfromthe restof the bowl by grooves,
ridges,cables, beading,or a combinationof these.
Calyx:the floralmotifsurrounding In the caseof some
the medallion,distinctfromthe walldecoration.
floralbowlsthis calyxcoversthe entirewall.Usually,however,evenin caseswherethe walldecorationis
vegetal,there is a distinctcalyx.
Wall:the main decorationof the bowl, borderedby the calyx below and the rim patternabove.
Rimpattern:a decorativeband,set off fromthe wallby a ridgeor beading.The rimpatternusuallyhas
two or three registers,separatedby ridges,cables, beading,or jeweling.

TECHNIQUE OF MANUFACTURE
The processby which the bowls were manufactured has been studiedand describedby various
scholars.'3Examinationof the materialfromthe Agora14 addsnothingnew,but does serveto confirmthe
conclusionsdrawnby G. RogerEdwardsin his carefulstudyof the largegroupof moldsfromthe Pnyx.
The mold consistsof an unglazed,wheelmadebowl with wallsabouthalf a centimeterthick.It has
eithera ringfootor a raisedbase,flator concaveunderneath. Thelip is slightyeverted,eitherrounded,flat,
or beveled to the outside (PI.93).15 On one eighth of the moldsin the Agorathereareone or morehori-
zontalwheel-rungrooveson the exterior,possiblyto give the pottera bettergripwhenmoldingthe bowl.
The exteriorof the moldmaybe roughanduneven,andalwaysdisplaysprominentwheelmarks.Theinte-
rior,however,waswipedor slippedso thatwheelmarksareusuallynot visible.TheAgoramoldsaffordno
exampleof the oilyfilmobservedon someof the moldsfromthe Pnyx.16Otherwisethe techniqueof their
manufacture conformswiththatof examplesfromthe Pnyx.Thevariationsin shapeof baseandrimhave
no chronologicalsignificance.
Oncethe moldhadbeenthrownandwhilethe claywasstillsoft,the decorationwasappliedto the inte-
rior surfaceof the mold. First the rim zones and medallionwere delimitedby beadingor wheel-run
grooves.Most of the restof the decorationwas stampedinto the interiorwith small,individualstamps.
Someof the stampsweremadeof clay(411-413),but stampsof woodandmetalmayalsohavebeenused.
Thefiguredandimbricatebowlshavealmostno hand-drawn detail,butmanyof the designson floralbowls
and the petals of long-petalbowls were drawnfreehand.
The applicationof the stampsand the additionof hand-drawn detailsrequiredsome expertise.The
clumsyexecutionof two molds fromthe Agora(47, 48) suggeststhatthey werepracticepieces.One of
these (47) comes from the KomosCistern(M 21:1),17whichalmostcertainlycontainedthe dumpof a
workshop.Both molds are considerablycruderthan otherbowls and molds of the same date (the first
quarterof the 2nd century)and arein factquiteunlikeany of the bowlsin the Agoracollection.Perhaps
they representthe first effortsof an apprentice.
Stampscould be manufactured mechanicallyby simplymakinga cast of a reliefmotif in clay.This
a
wouldproduce copy of the motif,slightlysmallerthanthe originalbecauseof the shrinkageof the clay
and slightlyless crispin its details.Some of these stamps,particularly in the earlieryearsof manufacture,
were probablytakendirectlyfrommetalvases.Many,however,were takenfromthe bowlsthemselves.
Becauseof repeatedshrinkageand loss of detail,stampson laterfiguredbowlstendedto be smalland
coarse;the pottercompensatedforthis by pressingthe stampfurtherinto the mold,so thatthe figurewas
in higherrelief on the bowl (e.g. 145).

on the base of the cone;the upperpartof the cone servedas a handle.No bowlsor moldsproducedby
these stampshave been found in the Agora,and they could have been put to otheruses as well. For
example,the Agoracollectioncontainsa thick,flatslabof bakedclayintowhichrowsof rosetteshavebeen
stamped;'8it may have been used for the manufactureof embossedsheets of bronzeor gold.
A few of the bowlsare probablyexactreplicasof metalbowls.The fine detailof 49 and 50 couldnot
havebeen achievedwithclay stampsand punchesin a mold;presumablythe moldsthatproducedthese
bowlsweretakendirectlyfroma metalbowlor froma plastercastof a metalbowl.In some casesnatural
objectssuch as pine cones may have been presseddirectlyinto the mold (cf. 1-12).
Oncethe moldwascompletedandfiredit couldbe usedto manufacture bowls.Thepotterpressedsoft
clay into the mold, workingit into all the hollows with his fingers.He then centeredthe mold on the wheel,
secured it with a few pieces of damp clay, and smoothed the interioras the wheel turned.The smooth inte-
riorsof the bowlsshowwheelmarks,as do the outturnedrims,whichwerenot moldedbutwheelmade.It
wasthennecessaryforthe bowlto remainin the molduntilit shrankandbecamehardenoughforremoval.
A potterwouldthereforeneed manydifferentmoldsif he was to worksteadily,sinceeachmold couldbe
usedonlyonce everyfew days.Thisexplainsthe greatvarietyfoundamongthe bowls,andalsoimpliesthat
a mold couldbe used for quitesome time withoutshowingsignificantwear(see p. 32).
The potteroccasionallyadded detailsto the bowl after it had been removedfrom the mold. For
example,the medallionsof 67,96,and346werestampeddirectlyontotheleather-hard surfaceof the bowls.
The bowlwasthenglazed;grooveswerescrapedbelowthe lip andaroundthe medallionandwerecolored
withmiltos.Sometimesone of the ridgessurrounding the medallionwasscrapedto providea morestable
restingsurface.
The bowlswerestackedin the kilnwithsmallclayringsbetweenthemto keepthemapart(414,415).19
In manycasestheseringshaveleft theirimpressionin the formof a redcircleon the flooror medallionof
the bowl,wherethe ringpreventedthe properfiringof the glaze.Theseringsareshapedlikeringfeet,with
sloping,slightlyconcavesides.Tall,slenderringsappearin contextsas earlyas the late5th century,though
mostof the examplesfromthe Agoradatein the4th century.A lowvarietywitha largerdiameter,suitable
for a footlesshemisphericalbowl, first appearsin the Hellenisticperiod.
The numberof bowlsthatcouldbe madein a moldwaslimitedby the wearof the mold.Its life expec-
tancywoulddependin parton the popularityof the design.A moldmightalsobe brokenbeforeit became
worn;thiswasapparently the casewiththe discardedones in the cisternM 21:1,whichare quitefresh.It
seemsthatsomeof the pottersdidnot haveveryhighstandards, fortheymadebowlsusingmoldsthathad
been brokenand mended(220,261) and molds so wornthat the figureswere barelyvisible(115).This
suggeststhat in some cases at least the mold lasted a very long time indeed.
Thereis one instanceof experimentationwithundecorated moldmadepottery.Thereis no reliefdecora-
tion on bowl405;it has been includedin the Cataloguebecauseit wasmanufactured in exactlythe same
wayas werethe decoratedbowls.It is clearthatthe moldwasnotwornbutratherintentionally unstamped.

THE ORIGINS OF THE ATHENIAN
MOLDMADE BOWL
Moldmadebowlsappearedsuddenlyin Athensearlyin the lastquarterof the 3rdcentury.Theydidnot

developgraduallybut seem to havebeen the resultof a singleact of invention.In theirreliefdesignsand
the sheenof the glazetheyresemblegold,silver,and bronzebowls.Ancienttestimoniatell us thatmetal
vesselsof this sortwere highlyprized;1thatthey were often duplicatedby a mechanicalprocessis clear
fromplastercastswhichweretakenforthispurpose.2The similarities betweenexistingpreciousbowlsand
someof the earliestmoldmadebowlsconfirmthe suppositionthatmetalbowlsservedas prototypesforthe
ceramicones.
PROTOTYPES
A silver hemispherical bowl from a temple treasurefound at Toukh-el-Qarmousin the Nile delta is
almost identical with a ceramic moldmade bowl of a very early type in the NationalMuseum at Athens.3
Both are decorated with tall, pointed, overlappinglotus petals and each has a rosette medallion. A tall
silver cup from Ithaka is decorated with the alternatingacanthus leaves and pointed lotus petals which
appearon several ceramic bowls in the Agora ( Othe
49, 5) r parallelsare not so close. The Nymphaea
nelumbo,absent on Athenian moldmade bowls, plays a large role in the decorationof most of the metal
bowls,5andthereareno metalparallelsof Hellenisticdateforfiguredmoldmadebowls.Nonethelessthere
is no doubt that bowls of precious metal served as models for the first moldmade relief bowls.6
The fact that Egyptian motifs appear on moldmade bowls has suggested to several scholars that the
The palm,the roundedNymphaealotus,pointedNymphaea
bowlsoriginatedin PtolemaicAlexandria.7

6 Two bowls in the Agora collection invite comparisonwith silver bowls. A silver bowl from Greece or Bulgariais strikinglylike
375 and P 3377, no. 79 from Thompson'sGroup E (Kraus,Zentralmuseum, pp. 18-20, pls. 4,5; "Lesbols megariens,"p. 20; Thomp-
son, pp. 408-409, figs. 96a, 96b). Both the Agorafragmentsand the silverbowl have a large,double-rosettemedallionand four pairs
of alternatingNymphaeanelumbopetals and acanthusleaves, with floweredtendrilsbetween them, on the wall. On both, the tip of
the acanthusleaf nods slightly. The silver bowl is more naturalisticin style, but the decorativescheme is identicalto that on the
ceramicfragments.Both the silver bowl and P 3377 are comparativelybroadand shallow in shape. Krausand Byvanck-Quarlesvan
Ufford date the silver bowl to the 1st centuryB.C. The fragment375 comes from a context of the late 3rd century.The largerfrag-
ment P 3377 must date before 110 (for the date of Group E see Appendix and F 15:2in Deposit Summaries).This suggeststhat the
silver bowl dates no later than the 2nd century, possibly as early as the 3rd century.
A silver bowl in Hildesheim resembles 67 ( Pemice and Winter,Der hildesheimerSilberfund,pp. 28-30, pls. 6, 7). The walls of
both are decoratedwith alternatingnaturalisticand fantasticplant forms. Fancy has flown furtheron the metal bowl; the plants
springas elegantand complicatedgrowthsfrom a spindly stalkand calyx. On 67 they are solid, tuberousspirals,too symmetricalto

ORIGINS OF THE ATHENIAN MOLDMADE BOWL 7
caeruleaand broadNymphaeanelumbopetalsarenativeto Egypt.Moresignificant,hemispherical bowls

decoratedwitha calyxof leavesor petalswereknownin Egyptfromthe time of the OldKingdom.Water
birdsamongthe foliageand antitheticalgoatsare also commonEgyptianmotifs.HellenisticAlexandria
boasteda flourishing metalindustry,andpotteryimitatingmetalprototypesmightwellbe expectedto arise
there.
One of the most compellingobjectionsto Egyptas the birthplaceof ceramicreliefbowlsis the small
numberof such bowlswhichhavebeen foundin Egypt.If the Alexandriansinventedthem,they do not
seemto havemanufactured themin largenumbersthereafter. Furthermore, mostof the examplesfoundin
Egyptare of the relativelylate "Delian"type, with matt glaze and intumed rim.8
Since Egyptianmotifswere alreadywidespreadin the Mediterranean in the Hellenisticperiod,it has
been arguedthattheirpresenceon moldmadebowlsdoes not necessarilypointto an originin Egypt,or
even to an inspirationby Alexandrianmetalwork.Antitheticalgoats,for example,wereoriginallya Near
Easternmotif,whichmay be foundon Rhodianvases and black-figured potteryas well as on late 4th-
centuryAttic gravestelai.9The calyxof lotus petals,thoughoriginallyEgyptian,is commonon Achae-
menidphialaiandwas sometimesadaptedto deeper,hemispherical bowls.10Thisdeepervarietyhas been
found,forinstance,in EtruriaandRhodesin the 7th century,"1 in Egyptin the 5thand3rdcenturies,12 and
in Syriain the 4th century.13The hemispherical shapeis a simpleone and commonto manycultures.14
the
Clearly shape and the decoration which appearson the Hellenisticmoldmadebowl were current
throughout the easternMediterranean at an earlydate,andtheiroccurrencein ceramicsdoesnot necessari-
ly point to Egypt.
The combinationof hemispherical bowland vegetalcalyxwhichcharacterizes the moldmadebowlsof
the late 3rdcenturyandfirsthalfof the 2ndcenturywas,however,particularly popularin Egypt Its history
may be tracedthere from Prehistoricto late Hellenistic
times.15ManyEgyptianfaifencebowlsof this type
are known, one from a 3rd-centurycontext at Tarsus,others from the Hellenisticcemeteriesof
Alexandria.16It seemsthatthisformof bowlhadan unbrokenhistoryin Egypt.Furthermore, it wascurrent
in Egyptin the earlyHellenisticperiod.
SinceAthensis the earliestcenterof manufacture currentlyknownformoldmadereliefbowls,it is likely
thattheywerethe inventionof Athenianpotters.'7The goldandsilverprototypes,however,wereprobably
Alexandrian.18Althougheach of the Egyptianelements(shape,vegetalcalyx, waterbirds,antithetical

8 ORIGINS OF THE ATHENIAN MOLDMADE BOWL
moldmadeceramicbowlswere not manufactured until the 220's,over a centuryafterthe foundationof

Alexandria.Therewas thereforeample time for Greekand Egyptianelementsto blend to producea
distinctiveAlexandrianstyleof metalwork,19 whichwas then imitatedby the Athenianpotter.This style
had in fact alreadybeen adoptedby other toreuticcentersin the Mediterranean.
ThecaseforAlexandrian prototypesis strengthenedby the existenceof closeparallelsbetweenceramic
moldmadebowlsandgoldglass.Thistechniqueof sandwiching decorationin goldleafbetweentwoclosely
fittinglayers of glass is believed to be an Alexandrianinvention of the 3rd or early2nd century.20A hemi-
sphericalgold-glassbowl from Syriaformerlyin the RothschildCollection is nearlyidentical in shape and
decoration to a number of early moldmade bowls from the Agora (49-53).21Its rosette medallion is
by two lines whichresemblethe ridgesand groovesof Atticbowls.Its wallsare coveredwith
surrounded
alternatinglotus petals and stylized ferns or fronds, with floral tendrils between them. Even the meander
pattern of the rim finds a parallelin the Agora collection (291). Another parallelto Athenian moldmade
bowls is providedby a gold-glassbowl fromMozdokin the Caucasus,22
also probablyof Alexandrian
manufacture.The Mozdok bowl is parabolicin shape and has an elabQraterosette medallion and a calyx of
alternatingNymphaeacaeruleapetalsand acanthusleaves.Above this is a borderof battlementdesign,
then a broadbandfilledby a horizontalivy garland.Belowthe rimis a bandof oliveleaves.One bowlin
the Agora collection (69) shares with it both the horizontal vine and the parabolic shape.
A reviewof a few of the survivingproductsof the Alexandrianmetalindustryof the 3rdcenturymay
providea pictureof the sortof preciousbowlthe Athenianssoughtto reproducein clay.Thesesurvivors are
unfortunatelyfew and oftencannotbe datedby any but stylisticcriteria.Provenancesareoftenuncertain
or unknown.Only a very sketchypicturecan be drawnfrom the evidencecurrentlyavailable.
The groupof metal vesselsfoundat Toukh-el-Qarmous gives some idea of the productsof the early
Ptolemaicperiod.23 The cachecontainedcoinsof PtolemyI andII andshouldthereforerepresentEgyptian
silverworkshortlybeforethe inceptionof moldmadebowlsin Greece.A silverbowlfromthe treasurehas
alreadybeenmentioned(see p. 6). It hasa rosettemedallion,a calyxof tall,overlapping lotuspetals,anda
simpleroperimpattern.Thispicturemaybe supplementedby a groupof plastercastswhichappearedon
the Cairomarketearlyin this century.Accordingto the dealer,they camefromwhatwasapparently the
metalworkers' quarterof Mitrahinet(Memphis).24 Theyare castsof Hellenistic silver,probablyof the 3rd
century,but takenin the Romanperiod.25 Threeof thesearecastsof hemispherical bowls.26Two(nos. 18
and 19) have double-rosette medallionsand calycesof overlapping,fern-like leaves, from which spring
19It was formerlythought that productionbegan between 275 and 250, which left little time for the influence of a new Alexan-
drian industry to reach Athens. Kraus, Zentralmuseum,p. 2; Courby, p. 425.

"GlassFinds at Gordion,"p. 46. For a list of known examples of gold glass see Oliver,"A Gold-glassFragment,"pp. 9-10. Oliver
dates the invention of gold glass to ca. 200 (ibid., p. 16); Harden dates it to the first quarter of the 3rd century.
21 Wuilleumier,Le tresorde Tarente,pp. 29-31, pls. 11, 12. Wuilleumierdated the Rothschildbowl in the first half of the 3rd
century and believed it was manufacturedin Asia Minor. Adriani and Byvanck-Quarlesvan Ufford believe it is an Alexandrian
product.Adriani dates it in the 3rd century,Byvanck-Quarlesvan Ufford in the mid-2nd century(Adriani,pp. 119-120; "Les bols
hellenistiquesen verre dore,"pp. 139-140). Its close similarityto Athenian moldmadebowls of the late 3rd centuryand the fact that
gold glass was probably invented in the late 3rd to early 2nd century suggest a date around 200 B.C.

Adriani, pl. 1. Adriani dates the bowl to the middle of the 3rd century, Oliver to the late 3rd or early 2nd century, and
Byvanck-Quarlesvan Ufford to the last quarterof the 2nd century.It has been attributedto workshopsof Asia Minor, Syria,and
Alexandria; the last, substantiated by Adriani through parallels in faience from Alexandria, seems likeliest. See Adriani,

somewhatlater.These few pieces, which can be datedby their contexts,give some idea of the metal
vessels,fromor heavilyinfluencedby Alexandria,whichservedas prototypesformoldmadeceramicbowls.
ARCHAEOLOGICALEVIDENCE
A fairlyclose and reliabledatefor the beginningof productionof moldmadebowlsin Athenscan now

be extrapolatedfromthe evidene of the manywell-dated3rd-century depositsexcavatedin the Agora.It
seemsclearthatthe bowlshaveformerlybeen datedas muchas halfa centurytoo early.Thompson'sdate
forthe beginningof the bowlswasbasedon his analysisof threeHellenisticdepositswhichhe publishedin
1934.33He estimatedthatthe earliestof these(GroupA) was depositedabout300. The mainbodyof this
depositcontainedno moldmadebowls,althoughtherewerea few fragmentsin a later,undatedfill in the
upperpartof the well.Therewereno moldmadebowlsin GroupB, whichThompsonthoughtwasclosed
about275. Theywereplentiful,however,in GroupC, whichhe datedaroundthe end of the 3rdcentury.
The obviousconclusionwasthatthe bowlsbeganto be producedbetween275 and200. Thompsondated
this eventca 275, a datelatermodifiedby Edwardsto ca 250.34Furtherexcavationandstudyof the chro-
27
See also a silvervase in Amsterdam,which was acquiredin Egypt.It is decoratedwith alternatingNymphaeanelumbopetals
and acanthusleaves with floraltendrilsbetween them. It is dated by Byvanck-Quarlesvan Uffordto the end of the 3rd century("Les
bols megariens,"pp. 15-16, fig. 13). Parlascadates it in the middle of the 2nd century(Parlasca,p. 143). A silverhemisphericalbowl
in the BritishMuseum is decoratedwith overlappingNymphaeanelumbopetals (Walters,Catalogueof the SilverPlate, no. 11, p. 4,
pI. 3). The provenanceof the bowl is unknown, but it is generallythought to be Alexandrian.Byvanck-Quarlesvan Ufford and
Parlascaagree on a date in the 3rd century for the bowl ("Les bols megariens,"pp. 15-16; Parlasca,p. 143).

29 Wuilleumiersuggests that they were buried before the war between Tarentumand Rome in 272 B.C. (Le tresorde Tarente,

nologyof the HellenisticperiodhavesinceshownthatGroupsA andB weredepositedabout40 yearslater

thanThompsonhadthought(see Appendix):GroupA wasclosedaround260, GroupB around240. The
earliestwell-dateddepositin the Agorawhichcontainedsignificant numbersof moldmadebowlsis B 20:7.
The latestdatableobjectfromthis well is a stampedamphorahandleof ca. 217 B.C.;the fill wasprobably
depositedshortlythereafter. A few fragmentsof bowlshavebeenfoundin depositsP 10:2,L 17:7,andthe
lower fill of N 21:4,all of whichdatelittleif anyearlierthanB 20:7.Thereareno moldmadebowlsin the
lower fill of the Dipylon well B-1, which contains materialas late as ca. 222 (see Appendix). This suggests
that manufactureof moldmade bowls in Athens began sometime between 240 and 220.
Nowhere else are moldmade bowls attested at such an early date. Manufactureseems to have begun
sometime during the last quarterof the 3rd century in Corinth and Argos, and somewhat later in other
Peloponnesian centers.35At Demetrias in Thessaly moldmade bowls were unknown before the late 3rd
century.36At Delos, no bowls were found under the stoa east of the Stoa of Philip (built between 250 and
228), and only a few fragmentswere found under the Stoa of Philip and the Sanctuariesof Serapis(ca 200
B.C.).37 The earliestexampleat Pergamonis one fragmentfromBauphase8 of the Asklepieion,datingto
the end of the 3rdcentury.Largenumbersof fragmentsappearin Bauphase9, whichdatesfromca 200 to
191.38At Tarsusa few fragmentsof moldmadebowlsappearin the "MiddleHellenisticUnit",datedto the
3rdandearly2ndcenturies;largenumbersarefoundin the "L'tateHellenisticUnit"of the 2ndcentury.39
At
Antioch fragmentsoccur in the earlyHellenistic period (3rd to mid-2nd century),but no uncontaminated
strataof the firsthalf of this periodwere excavated.Veryfew fragmentsoccurredin the only significant
groupof deposits,a seriesof superimposed floorscoveringthe yearsbetween225 and 175;Waage'sconclu-
sion thatmanufacture began soon after300 andfloweredin the 3rdcenturymustbe adjusted.40
Theearliest
bowls at Samariaand Hama seem to date in the 2nd century.4'To the west of Greece, availableevidence
indicates that moldmade bowls were not manufacturedin Italy before 200.42It appearsthereforethat the
earliestbowlsfromthe Agoraare datedby context10 to 20 yearsearlierthanthosefromotherexcavated
sites, and it is not unreasonableto suggestthat the moldmadebowl was inventedby Athenianpotters.
Suchnear-bycitiesas CorinthandArgos,however,werenot farbehind,andAthenianbowlsmusthave

Russia,in the eastat Pergamon,Kyme,Antioch,Hama,Labraunda, andperhapsTarsus,andin Greeceat

HISTORICAL
EVIDENCE
Thearchaeological evidence,as we haveseen,suggeststhatmoldmadebowlswereintroducedin Athens
between240 and 220 andprobablyoriginatedwithAthenianpotters.Thattheywereinspiredby Alexan-
drianprototypesalso seemsclear.It is thereforenot surprising
that,turningto the historicalrecord,we find
thatthiswasa time of especiallyfriendlyrelationsbetweenAthensandAlexandria.A lookinto the events
of this period can throwlight on the chronologyof the bowls.
Afterwinningher freedomfromthe Macedoniansin 229, Athensrenewedher friendshipwithEgypt
Shortlythereafterthe Atheniansbestowedlavishhonorson KingPtolemyIII Euergetes.A new tribewas
createdandnamedafterthe king,his statuewasaddedto the Monumentof the EponymousHeroes,anda
festivalwas initiatedin his honor.A demewas namedafterhis queen,Berenike,and a priesthoodof the
royal couple was established.
Evidencefor these institutionscan be piecedtogetherfromscatteredliteraryand epigraphical testimo-
nia. The existenceof the tribePtolemaisand the demeBerenikidaiis knownfrominscriptionstoo nume-
rousto mention.Pausanias(1.5.5) tellsus thatthe Atheniansnameda tribeafterPtolemy:UOTrepoV 68 Kai

The tribemust thereforehave been createdbeforethe deathof PtolemyIII in Februaryof 221; strong
evidenceindicatesthatit wasinstitutedin 224/3.45It wouldhavebeenmadeup of demesreas-
epigraphical
signed from other tribes, except for Berenikidai, created expressly for the new tribe.46
As an eponym Ptolemy took his place among the other tribalheroes on the Monument of the Epony-
mous Heroes in the Agora. The remainsof this monument have been excavatedand identified;it consisted
of a long pedestalsupportingstatuesof the eponyms,surrounded
by a parapet.Pausaniassawa statueof
Ptolemy there (I.5.5), which must have been added at this time; tracesof the additioncan be detectedin the
remains of the monument The originalpedestal had been lengthened at both ends in 307/6 for the addi-
tion of statuesof DemetriosandAntigonos,in whosehonortribeshadbeen created.Forthe next 80 years
or so the pedestalsupported12 statues,flankedat eitherend by a tripod.Cuttingsin the top of the

accountof Pausaniasthat the Atheniansalso sent a statueof Ptolemyto Delphi to be addedto the

As eponymof a tribe,Ptolemywas entitledto the worshipof his tribesmen;the priesthoodof Ptolemy
andBerenikeattestedby an inscriptiondatingbetween229 and22149mayhavebeeninstitutedat thistime
to attendto the affairsof the cult.
In all likelihoodthe Ptolemaia,an athleticfestivalin Ptolemy'shonor,was establishedat the same

THE CHARACTERISTICSOF ATHENIAN BOWLS

CLAY AND GLAZE
The fabricis the typical,hard,slightlymicaceousclay of Attica.Most commonlythe color is light

reddishbrown(designatedon the MunsellSoil ColorChart,Baltimore1975,as 5YR6/4), reddishyellow
(SYR6/6), lightbrown(7.5YR6/4), or pink(5YR7/4; 7.5YR7/4). Thereareoccasionalexamplesoutside
this range,but variationfromthe normis slight(2.5YR6/4, 6/6, 5/4, 5/6; 10YR7/3, 7/4, 6/3). All work-
shopsusedthe sameclayandthereis no chronological the clayof the long-petal
to variations;
significance
bowls is the same as that of the earliesttypes of floraland figuredbowls.
The bowlsarecoveredwiththe blackglazefamiliarfromAtticpotteryof earlierperiods.A pureblack,
however,is rarelyachievedand shadesof brown,tan, red, and orangeare common.On the finelymade
floralandfiguredbowlsof the late3rdcenturyandfirstquarterof the 2ndcenturythe glazeis usuallythick
and lustrousor metallic,whereasit is thinand dull on productsof the secondquarterof the 2nd century
and later.This,however,is not a reliableindicationof date,sincemanyof the long-petalbowlsmanufac-
turedin the secondhalf of the 2nd centuryare well glazed(321,322, 327, 330),while the glazeof early
imbricate,floral,and figuredbowls may be thin and dull (13, 19, 51, 120).
SHAPE AND SIZE
There is a good deal of variationin shape, particularlyamong the floraland pine-cone bowls. Represen-
tative profiles are illustratedon Plates 92 and 93
and in the drawings(Pls. 73-87). The ideal was a fairly
deepbowlwithsmoothtransitionto a slightlyflaringrim,anda bottomslightlyflattenedso thatthe vessel
couldstandby itself(21,49, 170).Oftenthe ridgeor beadingsurrounding the medallionservedas a foot(3,
62, 102, 170). In bowls of the first quarterof the 2nd centurythis shape is usuallyretained,though
frequentlywith a less gracefultransitionfromthe moldedbody to the wheelmaderim. Some bowlsare
nearlyhemispherical (55),a few are parabolic(3, 62), while othershavea squarishprofile(72, 116,187).

PINE-CONE, IMBRICATE, FLORAL, AND FIGURED BOWLS 15
Thereis alsovariationin the shapeof the lip, whichmaybe nearlystraight(62)or turnout gently(240)or
abruptly(102). These variationsdo not appearto be chronologically significant.
Some long-petalbowlsretainthe deep,almosthemispherical shape(327,344),but othersshowmuch

the rim(328,330,332).Manybowlshaveshallowbodiesandhighrims(321,332),or squareprofiles(323,
324).Thesevariationscan be tracedbackto the shapesof the metalprototypesfor the long-petalbowls.
Long-petaldecorationoccurson metalbowlswithbulgingbodiesconstrictedbelowthe rim3as well as on
hemisphericalbowls of varyingdepths.4
The bowlsare fairlyuniformin size;most fallwithina rangeof 0.075 - 0.09 m. in heightand 0.14 -
0.16 m. in diameter.Theircapacitiesrangefromca 450 cc. to a liter,mostfallingbetween500 and800 cc.
Since the Greeksnormallymixed theirwine with water,5the averagebowl wouldhave held little more
wine thana generousmodernwine glass.They do not conformto any knownancientstandardof liquid
measure.A few bowls are noticeablysmaller,with heightsbetween0.047 and 0.058 m. and diameters
between0.06 and0.09 m. (10,27, 52, 76, 77, 89, 95, 98, 102,219).Theircapacitiesfallbetween125and 160
cc.;it is possiblethattheyweremadeforchildren.A single,verylargebowl(63)witha capacityof nearly
four liters must have been intendedas a mixing bowl (est. H. 0.145; est. Diam. 0.25 m.).

example (67) the miltos was applied carelessly and covered part of the glazed medallion.
There are tracesof miltos on about half of the imbricate,floral,and figuredbowls, and on about a third
of the long-petalbowls. The pigment is fugitive;
often only faint tracescan be detected on the bowls, and on
some the miltos has probably disappearedaltogether. The proportionof bowls treated with miltos was
thereforeprobablysomewhat higher than present traces indicate. The practiceseems to have become less
commonafter the middle of the 2nd century.

5 Two partsof wine to five of waterwas apparentlythe usual mixture. Hesiod, however,speaksof dilutingwine with three parts
of water (Worksand Days, line 596), and Anakreonmixes two parts of water with one of wine (Anakreon,Fr. 63 Bergk = Fr. 43

6 Edwardssaw no Corinthianbowls with
grooves below the lip which were colored with miltos (CorinthVII, iii, p. 154), but a
few examples have now been found at Corinth.I owe this informationto CharlesEdwards,who has been studyinga largegroupof
moldmade bowls at Corinth (Hesperia 50, 1981, pp. 189-210). Cf. 371, probably a Corinthian import.
7 Miltos was probablya solution of yellow ocher in water. See J. V. Noble, The Techniqueof PaintedAtticPottery,New York
1966, pp. 60-61.

Thompson believed that the miltos was applied before glazing (Thompson, p. 454).

The simplesttype of bowl is thatdecoratedwith nodulesin imitationof a pine cone.9The mold may
even, in some cases,have been takendirectlyfroma pine cone (cf. 10).No metalbowlsof this typeare
known;a small4th-century silvervasefromthe Mogilanska moundin Bulgaria,however,is decoratedwith

typesandsizesof leavesandpetalsin the walldecoration. Thesemaybe dividedinto twogroups.Bowlsof

the firstgrouphavelargeleavesandpetals;the mostcommontypesareillustratedon Plate94. Lotuspetals
are the favorite(13-20,23, 41), but thereare also tall, ribbedferns(21) and stylizedtriangularleaves(22,
40). Differenttypesof leaves may be combined (19, 20, 41, 42). The secondgroup favorssmall leavesand
petals.Pointedribbedleaves("smallferns")are the most common(24-29,33, 43-45)but lotuspetals(34,
35),acanthusleaves(32,37),fronds(31,36) andpalmettes(30)arealsoused.Thereis one exampleeachof
overlappingscales (38) and shells (39).
The medallionsand the rim patternsare in manycasesthe sameas those on floraland figuredbowls
producedby theWorkshopof BionandWorkshopA. Compare,forexample,the rimsof 25 and99 andthe
medallionsof 40 and72, of 26 and87, andof 24 and214(see pp. 26-27, 28-29, P1.98 fortheseworkshops).
The connectionis evenclearerin the case of manyof the figuredbowls,especiallythe idyllicbowlsof the
Workshopof Bion, whichhave an imbricatecalyxreachinghalfwayup the wall (99, 103).It is therefore
certainthat the same shops producedimbricate,floral,and figuredbowls.
The glazeof the imbricatebowlsis generallyof highquality,particularly on morecarefullymadespeci-
mens. It should,however,be noted that carelesslymade bowls existedin the first quarterof the 2nd
century(37), while fine ones were still being producedin the early 1st century(35).
The earliestdepositcontainingimbricatebowlsis B 20:7, whichwas laid downbeforethe end of the
3rd centuryand containsmaterialof the secondhalf of the century.Thereare fragmentsof about 150
imbricatebowlsfromdatedcontextsin the Agora.Theyaccountforapproximately 15%of the totalproduc-
tion of moldmade bowls in the firsthalf of the 2nd century.This figuredropsto about 10%in later contexts,
afterthe introductionof the long-petalbowl.It is certain,however,thatimbricatebowlscontinuedto be
manufactured: the same medallionwhich appearson 35 occurscommonlyon long-petalbowls of the
Workshopof Apollodoros,whichprobablyfunctionedin the early1st centuryB.C. (cf. 341;see p. 37 for
Workshopof Apollodoros).
Althoughthe evidenceis not conclusive,it is likelythatthe bowlswitha calyxof largelotuspetalsare
the earliest(13-15).Theyare simple,often havingno rim pattern,and bearthe greatestresemblanceto
possiblemetalprototypes.15 Theyhavelittlein commonwiththe figuredbowlswhichwereso popularin
the first quarterof the 2nd century,and are probablyproductsof the 3rd century.
The imbricatebowls with smallerleavesand elaboraterim patternsprobablybeganto be produced
slightlylater,alongwith figuredbowls,with whichthey sharemanystampsfor leaves,rims,and medal-
lions. These too, however,were being made by the end of the 3rd century.
FLORALBowLS16(49-92; Pls. 8-16, 56, 57, 73, 74)

Thereare no clearlines of demarcation separatingfloral,imbricate,and figuredbowls;all threewere
producedcontemporaneously by the sameworkshops, andinevitablytherearebowlswhichseemto belong
to two classes.Threebowls(54,72, 73) are decoratedwithsimpleacanthusleavesor largestylizedfronds
but have been includedamongfloralbowlsin the Cataloguebecausethe leavesdo not actuallyoverlap.
Severalother examples(74, 81, 86-92) containsmall birds,Erotes,or otherfiguresin a predominantly
floralscheme.Exampleson whichthe figuresare subsidiaryto the floralelements(74, 81, 86) havebeen
classedas floralbowls.A numberof bowls(87-92)on whichthe floraland figuredelementsare evenly
balancedhave been groupedtogetherin the Catalogueas "FloralBowls with Figures."
I Cf. a bronze bowl from Ras Shamra(Schaeffer,op. cit. [footnote 13, p. 7 above],pl. 30:4);Hausmann,pl. 1; for an example in
faience see Parlasca,p. 139, fig. 4.
16
Courby called these "bols a decor vegetal et floral"(Courby,pp. 334-337), and Thompson called them "bowlswith purely
floraland vegetable decoration"(Thompson,p. 455). Edwards'name for them is "leaf-and-tendril bowls"(Pnyx,p. 85; CorinthVII,
iii, pp. 156-157). If one takes the word "flora"in its broadest sense, they may simply and accuratelybe called floral bowls.
Therearefragmrents of about200 floralbowlsfromdatedcontextsin the Agora.On the mostcommon

type,tall,pointed(Nymphaeacaerulea)or rounded(Nymphaealotus)lotuspetals allternatewithfloralten-
drilsor grapevines(49-53,55-67,78, 79, 83). Oftenthe tendrilsspringfroma calyxandareperhapsto be
understoodas partof an acanthusplant(e.g. 49, 56). Of 53 examplesof Attic manufacture in the Agora
collection,30 bowlsfrom25 differentmoldshavefloraltendrilsbetweenthe lotus petals,while23 have
grapevinesin thatposition.Fromthissampleit appearsthatthe twotypeswereequallypopularat Athens;
the floral tendrils may appear earlier.17
Oftena serratedleaf,possiblya fernor an elongatedacanthusleaf,occurswiththe vinesandlotuspetals
(49-53, 79), in one case with the lotus petals alone (54). There are also tall, spiky plants which are probably
fruitstemsof the datepalm (59,60).18 The largeacanthusleavescommonon NearEasternbowlsandon
extant silver bowls19are rare on floral bowls (74,87,87,
88), and the only examples of the broadNymphaea
nelumbo petal are imported (375).20A more unusual composition, paralleledin glass and fa9ence,2 is a
grapevineor garlandrunninghorizontallyaroundthe bowl (68-71).
Bowlswithfloraldecorationbeganto be manufactured
in the last quarterof the 3rdcentury.Thebowls
arewellglazedandmiltosoccurson abouthalfthe examples.Therehasbeena gentlebutpersistentdebate
over the question of whether the floral or figured bowls were manufacturedfirst. Some scholarsmaintain
that the floral bowls are earlierand that the calyx graduallyreceded to admit the figureswhich eventually
tookoverthe wholebowl.22Othersbelievethatthe floralelementgradually increasedandcrowdedout the

moldmadebowlshavefragmentsof all fourtypes:pine-cone,imbricate,floral,andfigured.It can only be
saidthatat the beginningof productionfloral,imbricate,andfiguredbowlsarerepresented in aboutequal
numbers,althougheven then the figuredbowlsare slightlymorecommon.Thereafter, however,figured
bowlsare more thantwiceas numerous,representingslightlyoverhalf the totalof the fourtypes,while
imbricateand floralbowls accountfor about 15%and 20%of the total, respectively.
In this connectionit shouldbe notedthatthe bestparallelswithpreservedmetalbowlsareto be found
amongthe floralbowls(see footnote6, p. 6 above,andpp. 8-9). Theirclose similarityto the conjectured
metalprototypesmayimplythattheywereamongthe firstbowlsto be produced.The extremelyfinedetail
of 49 and 50, which were probablymade in the 3rd century,has the crispnessof metalwork;they are
probablydirectcopies of metal bowls.
The ratiobetweenpine-cone,floral,and figuredbowlsremainsthe sameafterthe introductionof the
long-petalbowl. Thereafter,however,floralbowlsaccountfor only 10%of totalproduction.Theyrarely
occurin contextslaiddownafterca 145andarenotwellrepresented in Sullandestruction
debrisof 86 B.C.
Possiblythey werenot producedin Athensat all afterthe middleof the 2nd century;examplesfoundin
later contextsmay be strayfragmentsor heirlooms.
17Byvanck-Quarlesvan Ufford has suggested that Athenian potters preferredto decorate their bowls with grapevines,while
floral tendrils were more popular at Antioch ("Les bols megariens,"p. 12).

TYPES OF FIGURED DECORATION
The decorationof figuredbowlsfocusesuponthe humanandanimalfigureswhichappearon the wall

leaves.The Agoracollectioncontainsfragmentsor whole examplesof over550 figuredbowlsfromdated

quarterof the 3rdcenturyand continuedto be madeuntilthe mid-2ndcentury.Theyweremanufactured
only in much reducednumbers,if at all, thereafter.
The representations which appearon the walls of the figuredbowls can be dividedinto two major
groups. The larger is made up of bows decoratedwith idyllic scenes. Various real and mytho-
logicalcreaturesare representedon bowls of this type. The simplest(93-102)have a largecalyx,above
which are small alternatingfiguresof birds and Erotes (93-98), birds and rosettes(100), masks and

275) are also common.
Some bowls havemore elaboratescenes.Runninganimals,such as Pegasos(152-154,276),a goator
boarriddenby an Eros (152,153, 155),mountedmen or Erotesbearingtorches(156-160),or two-horse
chariots(150-153,275-277)are shown, sometimesplacedantithetically but more often runningin one
directionaroundthe bowl. thehe lattercase they seem to representraces or hunts.
A numberof bowlsof the idyllictypearedecoratedwithmarinemotifs(170-186).The sameantithetical
arrangement is usedbutthe stampsshowTritonsandTritonesses, Eroteson dolphins,Scylla,andothersea
monsters.Thesesea creaturesaresometimesincongruously combinedwithgoats,mythologicalscenes,or
hunts(175,176,182,186).One of thesebowlsshowsa womanplayingthe pipewhiledolphinsleapabout
her (180);perhapsit illustratesa lost Hellenisticpoem.
Sceneson the othermajorgroupof figuredbowlsaremorestrictlyrepresentational. Manyof the same
stampsappearbut theyarearrangedmorenaturalistically. Theserepresentational schemesin turnfallinto
two groups:huntingscenes and mythologicalscenes.
In the huntingscenes(238-272)the hunters,mountedor on foot,andaccompaniedby hounds,pursue
leopards(238,242),lions (243,246),boars(252,271, 272),stags(242-245,247, 267-270),and hares(252)
while birdsfly above.The huntersmay be eithermortalmen or Erotes.In one seriesthe poses of the
huntersare similarto those of figureson the AlexanderSarcophagus and the huntingmosaicsfromPella
(246-251).Sometimeshuntingscenesare combinedwith antitheticalgroups(260,263),or the stampsof
huntersand theirpreyareused in a stylizedcomposition(238).Usually,however,the arrangement is less
stiff than on the idyllic or mythologicalbowls.
The mythologicalscenes(187-237,277-281)usuallysharethe rigidstructureof the idyllicscenes;three
or four stampsare often repeatedin sequence.In only a few cases is there an attemptat narrative.
Manyscenesarestraightforward andrequireno comment.On 190Odysseusis boundto the mastof his
shipwhilesea monsterssportabouthim;thisperhapsrepresentsa conflationof the storiesof the sirensand
of ScyllaandCharybdis. The isolatedfigureof Odysseusappearselsewhere(91,191,192,227)andis identi-

Courby's"bols a decor varie et corolle vegetale"(Courby,pp. 338-362). Thompson called them "bowlsof varieddecoration"
(Thompson, p. 456). Edwards' designation of "figuredbowls" is used here (Pnyx, pp. 85, 91; CorinthVII, iii, pp. 163-171).

mentiineditipublicatidall' Institutodi CorrespondenzaArcheologica8, 1864-1868, pl. 47:1). There are many examples in red figure:
Divinitiescanbe identifiedby theirusualattributes.Artemisstandsbesideherfawn(224,225),Apollo

withhis tripod(231).Athenais identifiedby herarmor(227,229),Heraklesby his club (227),Hermesby

wildsettingof theirrevels(220,222).Figuresof nudewomenwithDionysosor membersof his thiasosare
probablymaenadsas well(203,223).A boldlystridingfigurein archaistic dressmayalsobe a maenad(221).
A few bowls show battle scenes, most of which are probablyAmazonomachies(233-236).
In somecasesthe figuresareverysimpleandcannotbe identifiedby anyattribute.Thisis the casewith

is not
secure but I have adopted for the sake of convenience the labels assigned by Courby and Schwabacher.26
Descriptions and comment on these scenes and figures follow.
FIGURES DERIVED FROM TERRACOTTAALTARS
Fourof the most commonmythologicalgroupsknownon Attic bowlsalso occuron the foursidesof

Minor.27
mierbeier ved that they originatedthere, and G. Sieberts recent study of bowls from the Peloponnese, on
which figuresfrom the altarsare very common,adds supportto this view.28It is possible,however,
thattheirbeginningswereelsewhere,perhapsin Athens;they wereat leastmanufactured thereas well.29
These four scenes appear consistently on Attic bowls but are also found on bowls from other sites:
1) Dionysiactrio (201, 208-216,225; Pls. 38, 41-44, 81-83; cf. Courby,figs. 69:3 and 78:21)
This group can be seen most clearlyon the drawingsof 201, 216, and 225 (Pls. 81-83) and on the photo-
graphof 210 (PI. 41). An unbeardedDionysos with long hair standsfrontallywith legs wide apart.He wears
bootsand a nebrisand turnshis head to the righttowardsa drapedwoman(Ariadneor a maenad),who
embraceshim.A smallsnub-nosedsatyrstandsat his left The satyr'slefthandrestson Dionysos'left hip;
his rightarmreachesaroundthe god, so thatthe handis visibleat Dionysos'rightside. He seems to be
supportinghis inebriatedmaster.The scene appearson non-Atticbowls from Corinth,Argos,Delos,
Kalymnos,Cyprus,and Alexandria,and on relief ceramicsof Olbia and southernItaly.30
2) PoseidonandAmymone(213-216,219,225,277,278;Pls. 4144, 54, 82, 83; cf. Courby,fig. 70:18,19)

pp. 251-252; and Siebert,Recherchessur les ateliers,pp. 244-245. Examples are listed in Schwabacher,pp. 185-188. The scene also
appearson bowls and altarsunearthedat Corinth(CorinthXII, no. 889; CorinthVII, iii, nos. 807 and 810), Athens (D. B. Thompson,
"Hellenistic Terracottas,II C," p. 259, fig. 2, pl. 91; Braun, no. 149; Metzger, no. 125), Troy (D. B. Thompson, Troy,

Amymone,the daughterof Danaos,whoborethe childNaupliosto Poseidon.Therearevariousversionsof
how theirunion occurred,31 but most agreethat she was fetchingwaterat the time, hence the situlaor
oinochoe.
SincePoseidon'stridentmaybe eitheromitted(215)or transformed intoa scepteror thyrsos(216),and
sincethe twofiguresareoftenshownseparately, theselabelsservemoreas a conveniencethanas a definite
identification.
Examplesof thissceneoccuron bowlsfromCorinth,Argos,Epidauros,Sparta,Pergamon,andCyprus,
and on relief ware of Olbia.32
3) Apollo and Leto (213-219;Pls. 41-43, 82; cf. Courby,fig. 70:14, 16)
Thesefigurescan be seen clearlyon 214 (P1.42) and 216 (PI.82). A nude and unbeardedApollosits
facingthe viewer'srighton a stoolor rockcoveredby drapery.He is playingthe kithera.A drapedfemale
figurestandsat the right,turnedslightlytowardhim.Shewearsa veil anda himationdrapedin a triangular
patternin frontandholdsa tallstaffor scepterin herrighthand.Sheis probablyeitherApollo'ssisteror his
mother,althoughthe veil and scepterare more appropriate to Leto thanto Artemis.33The figuresalso
occur on bowls from Corinth,Argos, Delphi, and Thessalonikiand on a situla from Olbia.34
4) Womandecoratinga trophy(200, 216; Pls. 38, 43, 82; cf. Courby,fig. 72:30)
A womanwalksrightholdinga wreathin herupraisedrighthand.She is drapedbut herrightshoulder
is exposed.The trophywhichshe approachesconsistsof a stakeembeddedin a moundof earthor rocks;
upon it hanga helmet,cuirass,and shield.Non-Atticparallelsmay be foundat Megara,Corinth,Argos,
Delos, Pergamon,Cyprus,Thessaloniki,and Olbia.35
An exampleof the late 3rd or early2nd century(216)illustratesthe differentinterpretations
a potter
couldgiveto thesestamps.The womanwiththe wreathis combinedwiththe Poseidon,whosetridenthas
been transformed into a thyrsos.Otherstampson the bowl includethe Dionysiactrio, dancingsatyrs,
Apollo,and AmymonewithanotherPoseidonwho does not carrya trident.Apollohas becomea simple
musician,the otherfiguresnot gods but mortalrevelers.One wondersif even the potterhimselfknewor
caredwhomthe stampsrepresented; he simplyadaptedthemto suitthe particularbowlhe wasworkingon.
Otherisolatedfigureswhichoccuron terracottaaltarsmay also be foundon Attic bowls:Cassandra
clutchingthe xoanon(230),36and a figureof Helen,who appearson the bowlsas a companionof Perse-
phone (193, 279, 280; see pp. 22-23 below).

LABORS OF THESEUS (189; PI. 35)

Three labors of Theseus are preservedon 189;a fourthis missing. The hero is shown fightingthe Mino-
the Marathonian

UNIDENTIFIEDSTAMPS
A few stampson bowlsfromthe Agoraarehithertounrecorded

andtheiridentification
is problematical.

his rightarmoutstretched as he clingsto the woman.She looksbackoverher left shoulderandraisesher
left armto wardoff a hugesnake,whichcoils aroundbehindherand archesaboveher.The childmaybe
Opheltesand the womanhis nurseHypsipyle.Accordingto the myth,she left Opheltesalonein orderto
showa waterhole to the sevenwarriorsmarchingagainstThebes;duringher absencethe childwas killed
by a snake.54 Thissceneis notoftenrepresented in art,butwhenit appearsthe childis usuallyshownin the
coils of the snake,while the womanrunsfor help or watchesappalled.55 Perhaps203 and 204 illustrate
anotherversionof the story.
2) Prokne?(202-204;Pls. 38-40, 81)

A drapedwomanstandsfrontallyholdinga childhorizontally aboveher head,as thoughintendingto
dashhim to the ground.She holdshis left leg in her righthand,his left armin her left hand.Her right
breastis exposed,andherlong hairis disheveled.The stampcouldrepresentanymurderousmythological
mother,such as Prokne,Medea, or Agave.56
3) Trophy?(203, 224; Pls. 39, 44, 83)

Thisstampmaybe seenmostclearlyon the drawingof 224(P1.83).It consistsof a frontaltorsowearing
a cuirasswithpleatedskirt,a pointedhelmet,anda cloak.Thereis a staffor scepterin the crookof the left
arm and an unidentifiedobjectin the righthand.This objecthas a kettle-shaped lower element,from
whichspringsa verticalrod,whichthe figuregrasps.At the top the rodbendsoverto the left anda large
object,possiblya goat's head or mask, is attachedto it. The torso has no legs.
INTERIORRELIEF MEDALLIONS(287, 288; P1. 55)

Twofragments, fromimbricate,floral,or figuredbowls,havea bustappliedto the interiorfloor.Thisis
unusualon moldmadebowls but occursmore commonlyon black-glazed and West Slope wheelmade
bowls of the Hellenisticperiod.57Centralemblemsare occasionallyfoundon the floorsof 4th-century
calyx-cupkantharoiandbowl-shaped kantharoi58andseem to derivefromthe centralbossof the phiale,to
which the calyx-cupkantharosis related.Silverbowls sometimeshave emblemsof this sort59

shownon emblems;it includesvariousmythologicalfigures,the mostpopularof whichareDionysosand
membersof his thiasos.The raggedgarmentwornby the womanon 288 may be a nebris;this and her
disheveledhairsuggestthat she is a maenad.The raggedgarmentmay, however,representthe aegisof
Athena.Thewingson the headof the figureon 287 suggestthatit representsMedusaor possiblyHermes.

to classifythe bowlsaccordingto workshop.Sincewe aredealingwithmechanicalreproduction ratherthan
artisticcreation,the matteris not complicatedby variationof style withinthe worksof one man or one
shop.Thoughthe stampsmaybe assembleddifferently by differentartisanswithinthe shopor by the same
artisanat differenttimes,the stampitselfremainsmoreor less the sameandshouldbe characteristic of the
shop.
Thereare,however,certaindifficulties. The stampdoesin factchangeslightlydueto wear,andeventhe
same stamp,appliedwithpressureor lightly,carefullyor carelessly,canleavesomewhatdifferentimpres-
sions.61Furthermore, it waspossibleforone workshopto copy stampsofthe anotherby the simpleprocess
of takinga castof all or partof a bowlof thatshop.In somecasesit is clearthatthisis whathappened,for
the copyis slightlysmallerthanthe originaldue to shrinkageof the clay.Thisprocessof borrowingcanbe
observedin productsof the Workshopof BionandWorkshopA, the two majorateliersof the late3rdand
early 2nd centuries (see pp. 26-29). Representationsof the Dionysiac trio and of the woman wreathinga
trophyon the productsof the Workshopof Bion wereprobablytakenfrombowlsof WorkshopA. Con-
versely,productsof WorkshopA showscenesof the rapeof Ganymedeandof a Tritonswimmingleft that
wereprobablycopiedfrombowlsfromthe Workshopof Bion.We mayalsonotethatbowlsof Classes1 -
3, which come from later contexts than those of the two largeworkshops,have smallerstamps,often copies
of those on the earlier products.
A few stampswhichseem to be identicalin size anddetailappearon productsof morethanone work-
shop;presumablyboth were takenfromthe samepatrixor positivemodel.For instance,the sametwo-
horsechariotstampwasused by the Workshopof BionandWorkshopA. The bowl152andthe mold275
can be associatedwiththe Workshopof Bionon the basisof rimpatternsandthe smallmotifsin the field.
The detailsof the bowl151andthe mold276identifythemas productsof WorkshopA. Yet the sametwo-
horsechariotappearson all fourpieces.Thisandcertainothermotifswereapparently stockscenesof the
Hellenisticpotter'srepertory.TheDionysiactrio,PoseidonandAmymone,the Rapeof Ganymede,andthe
of
Rape Auge appear in some casesto be identicalin size and detailon bowlsfromdifferentshops.Simi-
larly,the characteristic
medallionof one shopmayoccasionally appearon a bowlof anothershop.Wemust
supposethatduplicatesof some stampsmadetheirwayto othershops.Laumoniersumsit up: "Ons'imi-
tait, on se copiait,on se surmoulait,on s'empruntait des poin9ons,ou on se les achetait,ou meme sans
doute on se les volait."62
In assigningbowlsto shopsit is best to relyon the stampsthat,thoughdistinctive,werenot striking
enoughto inviteimitation.The best criteria,therefore,are the detailsof the rim, fillingornament,floral

THE WORKSHOPS
It is possibleto distinguisheightdifferentgroupsof bowlson the basisof the stamps.The two largest

groupsalmostcertainlyrepresenttwo differentshops (Workshopof Bion and WorkshopA). A smaller
groupwhich producedlong-petalbowls is distinctfrom these and will be discussedlater (see p. 37).
Hausmann's Workshop, anothersmallgroup,is probablyalsoseparatefromthe others.Thefourremaining
groups, which I call mayhavebeenmadeby one of the largershopsbuttheyaredifferentenough

to make secureattributionsimpossible.They certainlydo not representthe entireoutputof a factory.
Workshopof Bion (P1.98)

Two fragmentsof figuredbowls(154,168)were signedby a man namedBion, perhapsthe owneror
mastercraftsmanof a workshop.Thesetwo piecesare clearlyfromthe same shop,for the samestamps
wereusedon bothfor the frondsof the calyxand the eight-petaled rosettein the field.By comparisonof
these and other stampswith those on unsignedbowls it is possibleto identifyother productsof the
Workshopof Bion.The frondsandrosettesarecommonandoccuron severalwholebowls(e.g. 125,152).
The birdflyingrighton 168can also be foundon otherbowls(e.g. 163),as can the birdflyingleft on 154
(e.g. 153).The Pegasoson 154appearson 152 and 153;the griffinof 168appearson 167.Manyof these
bowls have the characteristicrim, calyx,and medallionmotifsof the shop. Throughthese detailsit is
possibleto identifyfragmentsof over200 productsof the shopof Bion amongthe inventoriedpotteryand
the sherdsstoredwith the context potteryat the Agora excavations.
Sixty-twobowlsand 10 moldsin the Cataloguecan be securelyassociatedwith this shop;another18
bowlsand 6 moldsare less securelyattributed.It seems to havebeen the largestproducerof moldmade
bowls in the later 3rd and early2nd centuries.
Thegreatvariationwithinthe groupmakesit difficultto givea generaldescriptionof theproductsof the
shop.Manybowlsconformto the usualtypeonlyin details.Productsof theWorkshopof Bionusuallyhave
either a gorgoneion(e.g. 124, 263, 295), Athena Parthenos(e.g. 296, 297), small eight-petaledrosette
with hatchedpetals(e.g. 40, 275), or a linearrosette(e.g. 120, 177) on the medallion,which is often
surroundedby beading.These particularrosettesneveroccuron bowls made by other shops,and the
gorgoneionand Parthenosare copiedonly rarely.Perhapsthese designsservedas trademarks at a time
when signatureswere rare.
The shopfavoredcalycesof small,stylizedvegetalmotifs,suchas frondsor smallferns,oftenarranged
in an imbricatepattern(e.g. 104,242,243).The uppermostelementof the rim usuallyconsistsof pairsof
doublespiralscrownedby palmettesor smallleaves.Belowthisis a simplifiedguilloche(e.g. 130,163)or
an ovolo (e.g. 139,170),althoughsometimesmore elaboratepatternswith crosshatching or chevronsare
employed(e.g. 242). Beadingis a common featurebut jewelingnever appears.
63 Theseare the criteriaused by Hausmann to identify an Attic workshop (Hausmann, pp. 26-27, 108-109, note 107), by
Laumonierin isolating workshopgroups among bowls found on Delos ("Bols hellenistiques a reliefs,"pp. 256-260; Delos XXXI,
passim), and by Siebert in his study of bowls made by Peloponnesianworkshops(Recherchessur les ateliers,pp. 3-8). For an excel-
lent discussion of the problems encountered in isolating workshop groups see Siebert, loc. cit.
Althoughthe shopproducedbowlsof the floraland imbricatetypes,idyllicfiguredsceneswereby far

the mostpopular.Therearea few examplesof huntingscenesandmythological groupsbutmostcommon
are antitheticalgoats, satyrs,centaurs,Tritons,and the like.
The shopitselfwasprobablylocatedon the slopesof the Areopagus,in the areaM-N 21 on the gridof
the AgoraExcavations(PI.99). Theoverwhelming majorityof the bowlsfromthe KomosCistern(M 21:1)
can be attributedto this shop.Thatcisternalso containedsevenmolds,fourof them certainlyproductsof
Bion'satelier.Some twentymetersto the northeastlies the cisternN 21:4, whichcontaineda stampfora
palmette(412),two clayringsfor stackingbowlsin the kiln(414,415),andtwo moldsfromthis shop(43,
312).In this deposit,too, most of the bowlscan be attributedto the Workshopof Bion. Sincethe fill of
these two cisternsis clearlythe dump from a shop, the shop itself was probablynot far off.
The datablematerialin thesetwo depositsand the contextsof otherbowlsproducedby the shopindi-
catethatit flourishedin the lastquarterof the 3rdcenturyandthe firstquarterof the 2ndcentury.Thereis
no evidencethatit evermanufactured long-petalbowls,andits productsareless commonin depositsof the
secondquarterof the 2nd century,rarein contextsof the secondhalfof the century.The debrisfromM
21:1 andN 21:4 suggeststhatthe shopwasdestroyedat the end of the firstquarterof the 2nd centuryand
did not functionafter that time.

Hausmann's Workshop(P1. 98)

In a footnote to his book on Hellenistic relief bowls, Ulrich Hausmannpublished a list of Attic bowls
produced by a single workshop.64They are characterizedby a gorgoneionmedallion and a distinctiverim
patternof doublespiralscrownedby largepalmettes,overa well-formed,simplifiedguilloche.Two bowls
fromthe Agora,one depictinga marineidyll(181),the otheran Amazonomachy (233),maybe associated
withthis shopon the basisof rimpatternsandotherstamps.The upperpartof the rimpatternof 233and
the wholerim patternof 181are identicalto thoseon Hausmann'sbowls.The Tritonessand calyxof 181
and the mountedAmazon of 233 also appearon bowls of Hausmann'sWorkshop.65

Thirty-ninebowls,10 molds,a moldmadeamphora,anda moldmadekraterin the Cataloguehavebeen
associatedwith an atelierwhich,since none of its productswere signed,has been designatedsimplyas
WorkshopA. Another19 bowlsand2 moldsareless certainlyattributed. The bowlsof WorkshopA areof
high quality.Theytend to be than
slightlylarger those of the Workshop Bion and showmoreimagina-
of
tion in composition.
Thereis a varietyof rosettemedallions:six-petaled(e.g. 86), eight-petaled (e.g. 248),ten-petaled(e.g.
287),and doublefour-or eight-petaled (e.g. 31, 87, 108).A Parthenosor gorgoneionappearsoccasionally
(e.g. 218).Beadingaroundthe medallionis extremelyrare.The plantsof the calyxare oftennaturalistic;
sometimestherearegrapevines(e.g. 159)or largeacanthusleaves(e.g. 87, 122).Imbricatepalmettes(e.g.
108),fronds(e.g. 160),lotuspetals(e.g. 248),or smallferns(e.g. 203)also occur.The rimpatternsarefine
andintricate.A trueguilloche(e.g.247)or a delicateegganddart(e.g.216)is commonlythe lowestmotif,
withpairsof doublespiralsabove.Abovethis,antithetical pairsof dolphinsflankingpalmettesarea favorite
motif. Rosettes,fleurs-de-lis,and palm flowersare also common(e.g. 62, 252). Jewelingappearsoften;
beadingis never used.
WorkshopA producedimbricate,floral,and figuredbowls,and a bowlperhapsof the long-petaltype
(see p. 36) canbe attributedto thisshopon the basisof its medallion(344).Thefiguredbowlsarethe most

LOCATION OF SHOPS
Withthe exceptionof the Workshopof Bion,whichwasprobablyon the northslopeof the Areopagus,

the locationsof the shops cannotbe pinpointed.Manymolds of all typeswere foundin the industrial
districtsouthwestof the Agorasquare.Few tracesof the Hellenisticperiodsurvivein thisareabutthereis
some evidenceforvarioustypesof factories,amongthem a terracotta workshop.7'We may concludethat
one or more potterieswere also locatedthere.Thatmoldmadebowls were manufactured elsewherein
Athensis indicatedby moldsfoundin excavationson SyntagmaSquare,nearlya kilometerto the eastof
the Agora.72
TYPES OF ITEMS MANUFACTURED
A single shop would have manufacturedseveral differentproducts.The fact that a number of vases of
other shapes, such as kraters,amphoras,410)gutti,
gutti, and jugs (406408, 410), sometimes have molded sections
whichweremadein bowlmoldsindicatesthatthe same shopsweremakingbothwheelmadeandmold-
madepottery.Thepainteddecorationwhichoccurson thesepartiallymoldmadevesselsandevenoccasion-
ally on the rim of a moldmadebowl (294) is the same as that on wholly wheelmadevessels.
The same shops probablymanufactured lampsas well. Simplemoldmadelampsbeganto be made
somewhatearlierthanmoldmadebowlsin Athens,butmoreelaboratetypesarecontemporaneous withthe
bowls.73On one lampthereis a maskof an old man identicalwiththosewhichappearon the bowls.74If
lampsand bowlsweremadein the same shops,it is surprisingthatthey do not sharemore stampsthan
they do. In most cases,however,the designsare only superficially
similar.In a few instanceslampsand
bowlshavethe same signatures.Apollonides,Ariston,and Hephaistionareattestedas lampmakers;the

Agora IV, p. 5; KerameikosXI, p. 64. The earliest moldmade lamps are types 42 A and B, which begin shortly before the
middle of the 3rd century (Agora IV, pp. 129-131; KerameikosXI, pp. 64-66, 191). The more elaborate varieties begin with
importedlamps (AgoraIV, type 45 A, pp. 143-145) which are now thought to appeararound260 (KerameikosX1, pp. 97-98, 192).
The earliestAthenian copies of these are approximatelycontemporarywith the floruitof the Athenian moldmade bowls (AgoraIV,
types 45 B and C, pp. 145-147; Scheibler, KerameikosXI, p. 192, dates these from the mid-3rd century to 170).

samenamesappearon bowlsbutmaybe signaturesof differentmen of the samename.75Thebowlssigned

by Apollonidesand Aristonappearto be imports,and the potterHephaistionprobablyworkedhalf a
centuryearlierthan the homonymouslamp maker.
The fact that a largenumberof terracottafigurinesand molds for such figurineswere foundin the
Komos Cistern (M 21:1)76 together with moldmade bowls and molds suggests that coroplastsand potters
workedin the same shop.
It seems,therefore,thattherewasa smallnumberof fairlylargeshops,eachmanufacturinga varietyof
productsfromclay.Probablyno shopcouldaffordto dependon only one productfora livelihood,andso
made as many differentproductsas it convenientlycould.
CHRONOLOGY
The datingof moldmadebowlsof all typesis beset by specialproblemsoccasionedby the mechanical

processby whichthey weremanufactured.
they Becausetheyweremadein molds, the thamesamepatternscouldbe

Despitethese difficulties,a few factsemergefroma studyof the materialfromthe Agora.Imbricate,

untilthe middleof the 2nd century.Bowlsof the highestqualityweremadeduringthe firsttwo thirdsof

2nd century(see p. 95). The earliestcoins of this type were struckbetween200 and 180. The second
deposit,M 18:10,containedfragmentsof 50 bowlsand one mold and was datedby stampedamphora

Mostof the bowlsin these depositsareproductsof carefullymademolds.Muchattentionwaspaidto

Workshopof Bion,andmostweremadein freshmolds.Thisseemssufficientevidencethatthe manufac-

Theredoes not seem to be much developmentwithinthis period.Floralbowlsmay havebeen more
popularat the beginningthan they were later.Bowls from the Workshopof Bion become much less
commontowardsthe end of the period.Thisis illustratednicelyin Dipylonwell B-1, whereabouthalfof
the bowlsfoundin the lowestlayersof the upperuse fill wereproducedby Bion'sshop.77Its products,
however,do not appearin the upperlayersor the dumpfill.Debrisfromthe Workshopof Bion,including
moldsand stackingrings,was foundin two cisterns(M 21:1 andN 21:4, see p. 27) whichwerefilledat
some time after186. It is possiblethatBion's establishmentneverrecoveredfromwhatevercatastrophe
befell it and that all productsof the shop date beforethat time.

LONG-PETALBOWLS
(321-358;Pls. 58-64, 87)
Aroundthe middleof the 2nd centurya new typeof bowlwithsimpleschematicdecorationwasintro-

duced.Thewallsof thesebowlsarecoveredwithlong,roundedpetalswithno centralribs,eitherset close
togetheror separatedby linesof jeweling,sometimeswitha palmette(e.g.353),lotusbud(e.g.340),or leaf
(e.g. 336) at the top. Courbycalledthese "bolsa godrons",but "long-petaled" bowlshas
or "long-petal"
become the generallyacceptedEnglishterminology.78
ORIGINS
Likethe firstmoldmadebowlsof the 3rdcentury,long-petalbowlsdidnot developfromearlierceram-

ics but originatedas imitationsof metal bowls. The long-petalmotif had existed in metalworkfor centuries.
Silver bowls of this type have been found in a Twentieth Dynasty cache atTod, in Egypt.79The motif is
common on Achaemenid metal and glass bowls and phialai80and was alreadywidespreadin the Eastern
Mediterraneanand the Near East by the 4th century.In Greece it had appearedin the metalworkof the
Archaic and Classical periods81and in the ribbed ceramics of the 4th century B.C.82
A numberof Hellenisticmetalvasesof the typethatmusthaveinspiredlong-petalbowlsarepreserved.
The closestparallelto the ceramicbowlsis a silverbowlfromSusain Iran,whichwasfoundin a contextof
the late 2nd centuryB.C.83 It has a plainmedallion(cf. 328,350)andlong, concavepetalswhoserounded
tipsbendforwardslightly.Suchpetalsoccuron someof the betterceramicimitations(e.g.327).Theyoccur
also on two silver bowls which combine long petals with grapevinesand lotus petals.84On some earlier
silver examples85the petals do not bend forwardbut their surfacesare concave, as on a number of Athe-
nian long-petalbowls (e.g. 330).Like the ceramicimitations,the metal bowlshave simplerim patterns

CHRONOLOGY
Largenumbersof ceramiclong-petalbowlshavebeenunearthedat Corinth,whichwasdestroyedin 146

by the RomangeneralMummiusand wasnot officiallyresettleduntil44 B.C.87The destructionof the city
does not, however, provide a reliable terminus ante quem for the manufacture of long-petal bowls,
for a growingbody of evidenceindicatesthat a considerablesettlementof squattersoccupiedCorinth
duringits centuryof supposeddereliction.Recent excavationshave broughtto light stampedamphora
and moldmadebowlsof the "Delian"typedatingto the late2ndor early1stcentury.88
handles Mostof the
long-petal bowls from the site were thrown into the South Stoa wells as part of clean-up operations
conducted when the city was re-establishedin 44, and they could well have come from dumps left by the
squatters.Fragmentsof long-petalbowls were found in the constructionfill of a building thought to have
been destroyedby Mummius,89but it is possible that the building, which was carelesslyconstructed,was
built by the squatters after 146.
afters
It has been suggestedthatlong-petalbowlswerealreadybeingmanufactured
in Athensin the second
quarterof the 2nd century(see Appendix, p. 112). It is true that bowls of this type have been found in asso-
ciationwithstampedamphorahandlesof thatdate(see E 15:4,E 6:1-2 [lowerfill],0 17:7,PiraeusCistern)
but, of these contexts,only E 15:4 can be saidwith confidenceto be uncontaminated.
A few smallfrag-
ments of long-petal bowls have been found in even earlier contexts, but those contexts too are either
disturbedor poorly dated.90On the other hand, there are severalwell-dateddeposits of the second quarter
of the centurywhich do not containlong-petalbowls (F 5:1, G 5:3, Q 10-11:1). Most important,long-petal
bowlswerenot foundin the extensiveconstruction
fill of the Stoaof Attalos(P-Q 6-12), whichwasclosed
at about the same time as the destructionof Corinth, while severalfragments came to light in the fill of
SouthStoaII, whichwaslaid downabout140 (M-N 15:1).This seemsto me to indicatethatthe typeis
unlikelyto havebeen manufactured in Athensuntila few yearsafterthe middleof the 2nd century,and
thisis the dateI haveusedthroughoutthisvolume.In the lightof the somewhatambiguousevidencecited
above,however,that datemust be consideredapproximate, and the possibilitythatit shouldbe pushed
backby somefifteenyearsor so shouldbe left open.Onlythe discoveryof moredepositswell fixedin the
second quarterof the 2nd centurycan ultimatelysolve the dilemma.

IN THEAGORA
BOWLS
LONG-PETAL
Fragmentsof about225 long-petalbowlshavebeen foundin datedcontextsin the Agora.The petals
weredrawnby handin the mold;in morecarefullymadeexamplestheirsurfacesweremodeledso as to be
concaveon the bowl(323,327,330,344),althoughmoreusuallythe petalsare entirelylinearandhaveflat
surfaces.On some examplesthe petalshavea convexsurface(325,337,340).In rarecasesthe petalsswirl
aroundthe bowl (345).94 On one carelesslymade bowl the petals have degeneratedinto ribs (346).
One unusualvariant,representedby fragmrnents amountingto one thirdof a bowl,is decoratedwithtall,
overlappinglotus petals,alternatelyroundedand pointed(344).It closelyresemblesa long-petalbowl,
althoughthe medallion,an eight-petaled rosette,is also foundon figuredbowlsproducedby WorkshopA
in the late3rdandearly2nd centuries.The decorativeschemeis not farremovedfromthe talloverlapping
petalsandserratedleavesof 54.Thecontextof 344is, unfortunately,
petalsof 23 or the alternating inconclu-
sive,sinceit wasfoundtogetherwitha smalldepositof nondescript potteryin a settlingbasinin frontof the
Heliaia,a depositwhichmay haveremainedopen until about 140 (I 14:2).Althoughit has been classed
here with long-petalbowls,344 may in factbe more closelyrelatedto and contemporary with imbricate
bowls.
Overhalf the examplesin the Agoracollectionhave a rosettemedallion(e.g. 330);on manyothers,
however,the medallionis decoratedwitha star(e.g. 322,329).At one time,Edwardsconcludedthatthe
starmedallionwasnot introduceduntilabout100.95Bowlswith starmedallionshavesincebeen foundin
contextsof the secondhalfof the 2nd century(e.g. 321,322,329).The staris morecommon,however,on
bowls of the 1st centurythan on those of the 2nd century.
The medallionis sometimesleft plain(e.g. 350);on one examplea rosettewasstampedonto the bowl
afterit had been removedfromthe mold (346).Theremay be a simplerim pattern,usuallyan ovolo,
simplifiedguilloche,or ivyleaves(e.g. 321-326,337,353),butusuallythishasbeenreplacedby one to three
horizontalridges,wheel run in the mold.

OTHER TYPES OF MOLDMADE BOWLS 37
Plainbowlsareabouttwiceas numerousasjeweledones throughout the periodof manufactureof long-

petal bowls.There is no evidenceto indicatethat later
jewelingbeginsappreciably thanthe plaindecora-
tion; both types are currentin the third quarterof the 2nd century.
WORKSHOPOF APOLLODOROS
Since most of the decorationof the long-petalbowlsis very simpleand handdrawn,it is difficultto
distinguishbetweenthe productsof differentshops.However,the practiceof signingbowlsbecamemore
popularin the secondhalfof the 2ndcenturyandwe can,by combiningthe evidenceof the signatures with
the less reliableindicationsof stamps,build up a groupof bowls belongingto one shop.
Fourbowls,threeof which(335,338, 339)are includedin the Catalogue,are signedby Apollodoros,
whosenamealsooccursat Delos.96One (338)hasa doublesix-petaledrosetteand,betweenthe longpetals
of the wall,carefullines of jewelingtoppedby lotusbuds;thereis a dot in the centerof eachtinycircleof
the jeweling.One or more of these motifs,apparentlymade by the same stamps,occuron threemore
bowls,whichmaythereforebe assignedto the shopof Apollodorosalthoughtheyare not signed.Twoof
these are jeweled long-petalbowls (340, 341) and one is imbricate(35).
Thuswe canassociatefragmentsof sevenbowlswiththe Workshopof Apollodoros.Fromourevidence
it seems that long-petalbowls were the most commonoutputof the shop and thatjeweledbowlswere
preferredto plain ones. The rims are almost alwayssimple horizontalridges.
Twoof the bowlscomefromSullandestruction debris,one froma lateHellenisticdeposit,andone from
a dumpof Sullandebristhatwasnot depositeduntilaround50. It seemsthenthatApollodoroswasactive
in the early1st centuryB.C. It is interestingthatthese are amongthe finestof the long-petalbowls,with
regularlyspaced,oftenwell shapedpetals.This indicatesthat qualitydid not necessarilydeclinewith the
passageof time.

was long ago noticed, however,that the design resemblesthat of the traditionalMacedonianshield,
althoughthereis no reasonto believethatthe bowlsthemselvesoriginatedin Macedonia.103 P. Callaghan

OTHER TYPES OF MOLDMADE POTTERY 39
The fourexamplesin the Catalogueseem fromtheirshapesandfabricsto be imports;theydiffersuffi-

cientlyfrom one anotherto suggestthat they were importedfrom differentplaces.
NET-PATTERN
BOWLS
(403, 404; Pls. 69, 89, 97)
The Agoracollectioncontainsonly a few examplesof this unusualformof decoration,wherebythe
bowl is coveredwith a networkof lines formingpolygons(403).Possiblyit was inventedin imitationof
tortoiseshell.Thisdecorativesystemoccursat othersitesas well.106Althoughthe contextof 403is late(first
quarterof the 1stcentury),it wouldnot be surprising
if thistypeoccurredearlyin the historyof the mold-
madebowl,sinceblack-glazed bowlsdecoratedwithan incisedpolygonalnetworkhavebeen
hemispherical
discoveredin 3rd-centurycontextsin the Agora.107Edwardsdatesthe net-pattern bowlsof Corinthas early
as 160 and believesthey werepopularuntil cac 120 in Athens.108Partsof two similarbowlsof Athenian
manufactureappearin Thompson'sGroupD, so they were surelybeing producedby caC140.109
On our examplethe polygonalnetworkof pentagonsand hexagonsis combinedwith pendentsemi-
circlesandimbrication,suchas arefoundon concentric-semicircle bowls.The soft,verymicaceousfabric
seems not to be Attic.
Anotherfragmentfroma lst-centurycontext(404)is coveredwitha simplernetworkof lines forming
diamonds;it, too, appearsto be imported.
DAISYBOWLS
(364; P1. 65)
Thesebowls,too, havea net pattern,this time formedby interconnecting
starsor flowerswithpointed
leaveswhichresembledaisies.A fewfragmentsof suchbowlshavebeenfoundin the Agora,andtwocome
fromthe Kerameikos, one bearingthe letters]TO[.110
The Agorafragment,whichis probablyAttic,comes
froma Sullandestructioncontext,but thereis not enoughevidenceto drawanyconclusionsaboutthe date
of this type of bowl.

INSCRIPTIONS
SIGNATURES
(Pis. 95-97)
Most of the inscriptionsthatappearon moldmadebowls are signaturesof pottersor, perhapsmore
of shops.The singlepossibleexceptionis discussedbelow(s.v.AYOZ).Thegenitive
correctly,designations
of the namewas inscribedin the mold,so thatthe lettersappearin relief,usuallyretrograde,
on the bowl.
Therewasno standardpracticeforthe orientation of the nameon earlierbowls;on 282and283the nameis
upsidedown,on 83 and168it runsfrombottomto top,andon 154it is at an angle.Onlong-petalbowlsthe
name is inscribedwithin a single petal and runs from bottom to top.
Signaturesarerareon the earlierAthenianbowls.Therearenoneon pine-coneor imbricatebowls,one
on a floralmold (83 - 'H(paiorT[ivoq]), and four on figuredbowls (154, 168 - BiUvoq;282 - KaAAi[.. .];
283 - [... .]Tp&)vo[(]).There is also a partly legible signatureon a figured bowl imported from Corinth
- [.ca 4.]KpaTIQ).
(382
Pottersbeganto sign both bowlsand lampsmore regularlyin the secondhalfof the 2nd centurybut
eventhensignatures wereby no meanscommon.111 Twonames,one of themillegible,appearon long-petal
bowls in the Agora(335,338, 339 - AnoAAo56pou; 331 - ?). On bowlsof the lotus-corolla, concentric-
semicircle,andnet-pattern typesthe signatureis oftena prominentfeatureof the decoration(359,360,362,
403,410).The namerunsaroundthe bowl,rightside up, eitherfromleft to right(360,410)or retrograde

entrepreneur with an international tradein lamps,bowls,terracottafigurines,and theirmolds.Contexts

IMPORTEDBOWLS
(365-404,410; Pls. 65-69, 87-89, 97)
It is notalwayspossibleto distinguishbetweenimportedbowlsandnativeAthenianproducts.Thereis a
temptationto labelas importedanybowlwhosedecorationdeviatesfromthe usualAttictypes.In separa-
ting out the imports,three criteriahave been used: shape, fabric,and decoration.
Shape,particularly the shapeof the rim,is the most usefulindicator,sinceAtticrims(exceptthoseof
pine-conebowls;see p. 16) are straightor evertedand almostneverangularin profile.Bowlsof several
othercentersof production,notablythe bowlsfromIonianworkshopsfoundon Delos,haveincurvedrims
(365,377,391,392,397,398,402).On otherimportsthe rim,thougheverted,is angular(374).Theabsence
of a scrapedgroovebelowthe lip may also be the markof an import(366,379,382,403).Unfortunately,
sincewe are dealingwithfragments,oftennot enoughis preservedto givea clearidea of the shapeof the
bowl.
The fabricis sometimesstrikinglynon-Attic.The pale fabrics(370,371, 382,383, 389,390) cannotbe
Attic;possiblysome of them are Corinthian.Bowlsmade of grayclayare problematical. In some cases
shapeor decorationconfirmsthattheyareimports(365,372,385,396);butAtticfabricmayturngraywhen
misfired(e.g.234),and so some bowlsof this fabricmaybe Attic(369,410).In a few casesthe absenceof
micaindicatesthata fragmentis imported,forAtticclayis slightlymicaceous(368,377,390,391,393,395).
Often,however,the fabricof an importedpieceis visuallyindistinguishable (by color,textureor inclusions)
from Attic clay.
Decorationcan sometimesbe a decisivefactor.If a piece has numerousparallelsamongproductsof
anothercenter,clearlyit must be imported.Unfortunately, althoughseveralvolumeson moldmadebowls
have appearedrecently,largecollectionsremainunpublished,and so comparanda are not easilyfound.
Some pieces have been includedamongthe importssimplybecausethey do not findparallelsin Attica
(369, 376, 380, 404).
Fragmentsof aboutfortyimportedbowls have been foundin the Agora.Bowls seem to have been
importedfromthe 3rdcenturyon butimportsaremorecommonafter150.It is interestingto notethatone
of thesefragments(375)wasmadein the samemoldas P 3377,a bowlfromThompson'sGroupE,121 a fact
which suggeststhat the mold itself may have been importedto Athens.
It is impossibleto locatethe originsof most of the imports.The pale clayof 370,371and382 suggests
thattheyareCorinthian. A largenumberof fragmentsfindparallelsat Delos (365,367,377,384,391,392,
398,401), but this is of little help since the "Delian"bowlsare believedto havebeen importedto Delos
fromas yetundesignated centerson the westcoastof AsiaMinor.122Thegreatamountof tradecarriedon in
the Hellenisticperiodmakesit uncertainwhetherthe bowls foundon any site were producedthereor
elsewhere,unlessa largenumberof moldsarefoundon the siteas well.Someof the importedfragmentsin
the Agorafindparallelsat suchsitesas Antioch,Hama,Samaria,Kyme,Pergamon,Labraunda, andTarsus,
andso probablycome from somewhere in Syriaor Anatolia
(372,373,378,379,381,383,385,388,391,400,
403).

DATESANDCONTEXTS
Becausethe bowls were made in molds,and the same mold couldproducemanyvirtuallyidentical

The wearof the bowlor of the moldin whichit wasmadehasnot been takenintoaccountin assigning

whetherthe conditionof the bowlis the resultof a wornmold(e.g.187),of wornstamps,of stampsapplied

STAMPED
AMPHORA
HANDLES
The chronologyof the stampedhandlesof Knidianand Rhodianstorageand transportamphorashas
been deducedfromvarioustypesof evidence.A generalframeof referenceis providedby historically dated
contexts,suchas the floordepositsof the Ptolemaiccampat Koroni(260'sB.C.),the buildingfill of the Stoa
of AttalosII in Athens(159-138B.C.), the destructiondepositsat CorinthandCarthage(146 B.C.),andthe
destructiondebrisleft by Sullain Athens(86 B.C.).Thepurposeof the stampson the handleswasprobably
to insuregovernmentcontrolof the capacitiesof winejars.An amphorausuallyboreboththe stampof the
potterwho made it (fabricant)and thatof the datingofficialduringwhose termit was made (eponym).
Studyof the interrelations betweenthese names,particularly on physicallyjoined pairsof handles,in
conjunctionwiththe developmentof the shapesof the amphorasandtheirhandles,hasresultedin a fairly
securechronologyforRhodianandKnidianamphorahandlesof the 3rdand2ndcenturiesbeforeChrist.2 It
is constantlybeing adjustedin the light of new evidence.
In herpublicationof the stampedamphorahandlesfromthe Maisondes Comedienson Delos,Virginia
Grace outlined seven chronologicalperiods in the development of Rhodian and Knidian handles.3These
havebeen used in the DepositSummariesin thisvolume.I am indebtedto MissGraceforthe datesgiven
in the summaries,whichrepresenther views as of 1979 (followinga revisionreportedin 1974:Grace,
"Revisionsin Early Hellenistic Chronology").She is not, of course, responsible for any errorsthat have
crept in throughmy own inattention.The individual-yeardates are to be taken alwayswith a circa; they are
the resultof Grace'sattemptto assign a year to each knownRhodianeponym.4

Fred Kleinerhas recentlyproposeda chronologyfor the AthenianNew Stylebronzecoinageissued

Hellenisticdepositsand hoardsfromAthensand elsewherein Attica.5He lists 16 majortypesof bronze

coinsissuedby the mintof Athensduringtheseyears.6In the DepositSummariesI referwherepossibleto

Kleiner'stype numbers.
Some of the coin issuesmay be connectedwithhistoricaleventsand in thesecasesthe datingmaybe
consideredsecure.Thereis, forinstance,an issuewithAthenaon the obverseandZeushurlinga thunder-

bolt ("fulminating coinsof thisissuecan
be datedto 87/6. The starbetweencrescentsappearson the reversesof gold and silvercoinsbearingthe
names BADIAEMIePAAATH and APIITION:MithradatesVI of Pontos and his general, Aristion, who
arrivedin Athens in 88 and led the pro-PonticforcesagainstSulla.The coins were issuedjust before
Sulla'ssiege of Athens and the Peiraieusin 87/6.8
For earlierissuesof coinswiththe fulminating-Zeus reverse,andformostothertypesas well,Kleineris
forcedto base his conclusionson archaeological ratherthan historicalevidence,and his dates depend
heavilyon thoseof the stampedamphorahandles.Thisis mostobviousin his comparisonof the fillsof the

DATES
In assigningdatesto depositsone mustassumea time lag of someyearsbetweenthe dateof manufac-
tureand the dateof depositof the objects.An amphoramanufactured in Rhodesor Knidoswouldnot be

TERMINOLOGY
Depositsin the Agoraexcavationsareidentifiedby letterandnumber,theircoordinateson the standard
Agoragridof twenty-metersquares(e.g. A 1; see PI.99). Depositsin the samesquareareassignedaddi-
tional numbers in sequence (e.g. A 1:1, A 1:2, etc.). Deposits coveringa largeareaare identifiedby general
location only (e.g. H-K 12-14 or P-R 6-12). Entries below are arrangedin alphabetical,then numerical,
order. The locations of the deposits are marked on the plan (PI. 99).
Most entries consist of a brief description of the deposit and a summary of its important datable
contents; this summaryhas been omitted for Roman deposits and a few poorly dated Hellenistic contexts.
Stamped amphora handles are usually referred to by their Agora inventory numbers; for the Knidian
handles the Knidiantype (KT) number is given as well.12 In some cases coins have been referredto by their
Agora inventory numbers: a number preceded by a Greek letter.
The numbers of the bowls found in the deposit that are included in the Catalogueare listed after the
discussion. General bibliographyis listed at the end, including references to the sections on deposits in
previousAgora volumes; bibliographyon specific objects of importanceoccurs in parenthesesin the appro-
priate place in the discussion.

THE AGORA: GROUPS A-E
The fivegroupspublishedby Thompsonin 1934coverthe entirerangeof the Hellenisticperiod.Their

validityas criteriaforrelativedatingremainsunaltered.Recentadvances,however,in the studyof coinsand
stampedamphorahandles,the only objectscommonlyfoundin Hellenisticdepositswhichcan be dated
independently,have necessitateda revisionof the absolutedates of the groups.
GROUPA (Deposit G 13:4)1

Thisdeposit,datedby Thompsonto theturnof the4th to the 3rdcentury,is notof directinterestforthe
studyof Athenianmoldmadebowls;the bowlsit containedcamefroman undatablesupplementary fill at
the top of the well that containedthe deposit The redatingof the other groups,however,is closely
connectedwith the date of the lower fill of GroupA.
The well containeda singlestampedhandlefroma Thasianamphora.2 The stampnamesTelemachos,

Therewereno coins.Thedepositmustthereforebe assessedon the basisof comparison withmaterialfrom
otherdatablecontexts.Thompsoncitedparallelsfromthe Hellenisticcemeteriesof Alexandria.Although
the foundationof the city offers a terminus post quem, there is no reliable terminus ante quem for the mate-
rialin the cemeteries.Since1934another,morehelpfulcomparisonhascometo light.In 1959excavations
were carriedout at Koroni,on the east coast of Attica,on the site of whatprovedto be a Ptolemaic
fort3Mostof the potteryfromthatsite wasfoundto haveparallelsin GroupA. It wasaccompanied, how-
ever,by coinsof PtolemyII,4the latestof whichdatesto 267/6 or 265/4. Thissuggestedto the excavators
thatthe site hadbeenused fora shortperiodof time duringthe Chremonidean Warof the 260's.5Sparkes

GROUPB (Deposit H 16:3)8

The evidencefromKoronialso affectsthe dateof GroupB. Thompsondatedthe materialfromthis
Hellenisticcisternsystembetween320 and 275.9Grace,however,has determinedthatthe one Rhodian
amphorafromthis group,whichone wouldhave expectedto be roughlycontemporary with the handles
fromKoroni,is in factabout25 yearslaterthanthe latestRhodianhandlesfoundat the Ptolemaicencamp-
ment10 This discrepancycaused much consternationamong studentsof both potteryand stamped

A and B, and thereforeof all 3rd-century
questionwas which of the two should be adjusted.
This questionwas soon resolvedby Grace,who arrivedat an independentconfirmation of the dateof

fromthe cistern,it is best not to rely too heavilyon numismaticevidence.The only stampedamphora

A studyof the moldmadebowlsin thisgrouphintsthatthe materialmayhavebeen depositedas lateas
the secondquarterof the century.The bowlsare for the most partmiscellaneoussmallfragments;only
three bowls are substantially whole. Some were manufactured by Workshop A and the Workshop
of Bion (e.g. C 21, C 22 : P 2432, P 404 fromthe Workshopof Bion;C 49, C 50 : P 4029, P 4030 from
WorkshopA). Twenty-twoof the 38 bowls in Group C were made in worn molds, which indicatesthat the
industryhad been establishedfor some time before they were made. Furthermore,severalof the fragments
themselves show traces of wear; the resting surfaceof C 27 (P 403) is worn, and the walls of C 18, C 24,
C 25, and C 28 (P 402, P 4102, P 4103, P 407) show that the sherds were batteredabout for some time
beforebeingdeposited.All of thesewornbowlswerethemselvesmadein wornmolds.Thelatestbowlsare
verysimilarto thosefromtwootherdepositsexcavatednearby on the KolonosAgoraios(F 5:1andG 5:3);
somebelongto the MMonogramClass(C 26, C 43, C 45, C 47: P 4104,P 4023,P 4025,P 4027).Bowlsof
this sortoccurelsewhereonlyin depositscontainingmaterialof the secondquarterof the 2nd centuryand

catea datelaterthanthe early2ndcentury,because,as Kleinerhasdemonstrated, no newcoinswerestruck
betweenca. 180and 145(see p. 95).19Bothdeposits,however,containstampedamphorahandlesof about
150.Someof the lampsin F 5:1 andG 5:3findparallelsin GroupC as well.Thesefacts,togetherwiththe
fairlycloseproximityof the threecisterns,suggestthattheywerefilledat the sametime,andthatGroupC
was depositedduringthe secondquarterof the 2nd century,thoughnot necessarilylaterthanabout165.
GROUPD (Deposit H 16:4)20

ThompsondatedGroupD to the middleof the 2nd century.The only coin,a bronzewitha cicadaon
the obverseandan amphoraon the reverse(Kleiner9), wasformerlyidentifiedas a bronzeof theAthenian
klerouchoiof 166;it has now been redatedto the firsttwo decadesof the 2nd century.The only stamped
amphorahandlemay date slightlyafter 146.21
Overa thirdof the bowlsin GroupD are of the long-petalvariety.Thisindicatesthatthe depositwas
laid downafter145,the dateof the closingof the buildingfill of the Stoaof Attalos,whichcontainedno

datedto the termof Nikodemosgivesa terminus post quemof 122/1.23Re-examination
of eightcoinsfrom
an Athenianbronzeof the 2nd century(Svoronos,pl. 107,
the depositresultedin only one identification,

than110;therearenone fromperiodVI (ca. 108-88B.C.),whenthe duoviriwerenamedon Knidianhan-
dles.24This contrastssharplywith the handles in a large number of deposits which go right down to 88,
whenthe practiceof namingthe duoviriwastemporarily suspended(e.g.F 19:3andM 20:1).Theevidence
of the handlessuggeststhatGroupE wasdepositedbeforethe end of the 2nd centuryanddoes not repre-
sent debrisfromthe Sullandestruction.A largeproportionof the moldmadebowlsare of the long-petal
type,as one wouldexpectin any depositof the secondhalfof the 2nd century.Theydiffer,however,from
the long-petalbowls in Group D in that half were made in worn molds (E 75, E 85 : P 3379,
P 3388).
THE KERAMEIKOS:DIPYLON WELL B-1
In 1965 a well in the southeast corner of the Dipylon Gate in the Kerameikoswas excavated by the
GermanArchaeological Institute.The well and its relationto the gate havebeen discussedby Gottfried
Gruben, and its contentswerepublishedby KarinBraun.25 Thewellwasexcavatedin arbitrary 0.50-meter
layers(Abschnitten)whichseem to belongto threedifferentfills.Braundistinguished twolowerfills,repre-
sentingaccumulationduringtwo distinctperiodsof use, and separatedin time by a gap of some years.
Abovethiswasa dump,apparently contemporary withthe secondcessationof use. Thewell thenpresum-
ably continuedin use. The upperfourmetershad been excavatedin 1933 and the contentswere lost
Braun dated the fills of the well on the basis of the stamped amphorahandles. Because of the revisions
withinthe amphorachronologyof the 3rd centuryoutlinedabove (see GroupsA and B) the amphora
handlesfrom Dipylonwell B-1 must be redated.Gracepublisheda revisionof these datesin 1974;it
remainshere to relatethose new dates to the other materialin the deposit

Comparisonof the materialin AbschnittenIX and X withthatin AbschnittVIII,the highestpartof the

112 APPENDIX
completeaccountof the excavationandsortingof the potteryhasbeenpublished,but apparently no strati-

graphywas noticed when the the the
cisternwas dug.38Metzgerdated materialfrom cisternfromthe last
quarterof the 3rd centuryto the middleof the 2nd century.The only datableobjectsare the stamped
amphorahandles,whichshe did not publish.Grace,however,has examinedthem,and believesthem to
dateearlyin the periodfrom188 to 167 (periodIV A). The latestof the five Rhodianhandlesis datedby
the eponymKleukrates to ca. 184.Thereare28 Knidianhandles,11 of whicharedatedby foureponymsof
the early"phrourarch" period (periodIV A): Agistratos,Ariston,Telesiphron,and Philtatos.
The PiraeusCisternalso containedseveralfragmentsof long-petalbowls.39It is surprisingto find
amphorahandlesof the first quarterof the 2nd centurytogetherwith long-petalbowls that must date
aroundthe middleof the centuryat the earliest.The sameunusualsituationoccurs,however,in E 15:4in
the Agora.Metzgerconcludedthatlong-petalbowlsweremanufactured in Athensin the secondquarterof
the 2nd century.The absenceof long-petalbowlsin the buildingfill of the Stoaof Attalosmakesthis un-
likely.Moreprobablythe cisternheldtwofillswhichwerenot distinguished at the time of excavation.The
lowerfillwouldhavecontainedthe amphorahandlesandthe imbricate,floral,andfiguredbowls,whilethe
upper fill would have produced the long-petalbowls. Alternatively,the cistern may have held a single fill
graduallyfromthe end of the 3rdcenturyto some time in the thirdquarterof the 2nd
whichaccumulated
century.
