These fine wares, like the other table wares of the first seven centuries A.D. discussed here, were all imported—a very different situation to earlier periods where Athens was known as a great ceramic-making center, and perhaps the result of mass destruction of potters’ workshops during the Sullan sack of 86 B.C. While the image of a demolished pottery industry is tragic, the consequent conglomeration of finewares from many parts of the Roman empire in one city makes the Athenian Agora a tremendous source of comparanda for archaeologists working all round the Mediterranean. Written by the world’s leading expert on Roman pottery, this huge catalogue illustrating and identifying multiple shapes and types of decoration will therefore be an essential reference book.","Agora XXXII","","Hayes, J.","Agora:Publication:Agora 32","","Roman Pottery: Fine-Ware Imports","Publication","Agora:Image:2009.09.0062::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0062.jpg::104::150","Agora","2008","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens"
