"Presented in catalogue form are 64 portrait heads, headless torsos, and fragments (of both categories) ranging in date from the first half of the 1st century B.C. to the 5th century A.D. The catalogue is preceded by an introduction dealing with “finding-places,” “material,” “forms of portraits,” and “subjects.” Special emphasis is placed on stylistic criteria for dating each work, and the more interesting examples are discussed in some detail. There are not many great works of art illustrated, but many interesting types. As the author says in her introduction, “the Agora portraits interest us, not because they are unique, but because they are representative.”","Agora:Image:2009.09.0031::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0031.jpg::104::150","Publication","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Portrait Sculpture","Harrison, E.

"Of the 55,492 coins that were recovered from the Athenian Agora during excavations from 1931 to 1949, this catalogue presents 37,000. These range in date from the last century of the Roman Republic to the declining years of the Republic of Venice. As the short historical survey that introduces the book indicates, this volume is intended to be a tabulation rather than study. It was written to provide prompt publication of the material excavated, and the catalogue is clear, fully documented, and easy to refer to.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0032::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0032.jpg::104::150","Publication","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Coins from the Roman through the Venetian Period","Thompson, M.","Agora","1954","","Agora II","Agora:Publication:Agora 2"
"Here are presented all the ancient written references, both literary and epigraphical, to the Agora (including its environs) and its monuments. The introduction summarizes chronologically the authors cited, evaluating the contributions of each. The texts are given in the original Greek or Latin, followed by a translation and a commentary. They are grouped in parts: the Stoas, Shrines, Public Buildings and Offices, Market, Honorary Statues, Miscellaneous including Boundaries, Trees, Kerameikos, Panathenaic Street, Old Agora. Within each part the monuments are arranged alphabetically and under each monument the texts are listed alphabetically by author with inscriptions at the end. Many texts not given numbers in this order are included in the archaeological and topographical commentaries. Each section on a monument opens with a brief synopsis of the evidence contained in the texts which follow. The index of authors gives dates and editions as well as passages and inscriptions cited, and is followed by an index of subjects. The plates show plans of the Agora and its environs and of the route of Pausanias.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0033::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0033.jpg::200::267","Publication","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Literary and Epigraphical Testimonia","Wycherley, R.

"The author has used the trustworthy chronological data supplied by the scientific excavation of “closed deposits” at the Athenian Agora to build a continuous series of lamp types from the 7th century B.C. to the 1st century A.D. Many photographs and profiles of sections permit ready identification, and a handy graphical chart of lamp types facilitates quick checking of the chronological range of each.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0034::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0034.jpg::104::150","Publication","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Greek Lamps and Their Survivals","Howland, R.

"A group of closed deposits, ranging in date from the 1st century B.C. to the early 7th century A.D., provide evidence for the relative and absolute chronology of pottery used during many centuries of Roman domination—from the sack of Athens by Sulla in 86 B.C. to the Byzantine period. A descriptive catalogue divides the pottery into eight groups, arranged into chronologically differentiated layers. Prefacing the catalogue of each group, a brief general description gives the location, chronological limitations, basis for dating, etc., and then the individual items are described in considerable detail.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0036::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0036.jpg::104::150","Publication","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Pottery of the Roman Period: Chronology","Robinson, H.

"The volume contains a short introduction, a classification by types, a critical catalogue, a register of the dated contexts, concordances and indexes, and an excursus by T. B. L. Webster on the theatrical figurines. Nearly half of the 1,100 items are illustrated with photographs. The subjects of the (mostly fragmentary) figurines are revealing. To the Greek deities of earlier times are added Oriental figures like Serapis, Isis, Harpokrates, Attis, as well as Egyptian priests and Asiatic dancers. The molded “plastic” lamps that are included in this volume were probably made in the same workshops as the figurines.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0037::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0037.jpg::104::150","Publication","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Terracottas and Plastic Lamps of the Roman Period","Grandjouan, C.","Agora","1961","","Agora VI","Agora:Publication:Agora 6"
"Nearly 3,000 specimens of lamps of “Roman” character are catalogued in this volume that covers the period from the 1st century B.C. to the 8th century A.D. The lamps are not easy to classify because the appearance of the clay used is not an infallible guide to the place of manufacture and the molds used to create the shapes were used widely around the Mediterranean. Terracotta lamps were probably made for local consumption in most cities of Greece; only a few centers, notably Athens and Corinth, developed an export trade capable of competing with local manufacturers. Since lamps from Athens do appear at other sites, the presentation of a well-dated sample of these finds provides useful reference material for scholars working at other sites.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0038::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0038.jpg::104::150","Publication","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Lamps of the Roman Period: First to Seventh Century after Christ","Perlzweig, J.","Agora","1961","","Agora VII","Agora:Publication:Agora 7"
"This volume reports on Athenian pottery found in the Athenian Agora up to 1960 that can dated from about the middle of the 8th century, when “the appearance of a painter of sufficient personal distinction to enliven the whole craft” marks a real break from the earlier Geometric style, through the third quarter of the 7th century when Protoattic gives way to black-figure and black wares. A sampling of contemporary imported ware is included. The material is treated first by shape and then, more extensively, by painting styles. Some 650 characteristic pieces are selected for cataloguing. The introduction discusses the development of the various shapes and styles, characterizing the special techniques and innovations of the period. The topographical features of the Agora that are indicated by the places of discovery of deposits of late Geometric and Protoattic pottery are summarized under wells, houses, workshops, sanctuaries, cemeteries, and roads.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0039::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0039.jpg::104::150","Publication","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Late Geometric and Protoattic Pottery: Mid 8th to Late 7th Century B.C.","Brann, E.
