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. frameHellenisticpotterycanprovidewhatanypotteryprovides:a chronological For the archaeologist for the work.Even the meanestfragmentmay serveto datea significantbuildingor deposit.Fortunately there in is in has been interest Hellenistic no recent increased years pottery archaeologist, longerneglected; Severalvolumeshaveappearedandmore the Hellenisticceramicsof manysitesaroundtheMediterranean. 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 introductionof the so-calledMegarianbowlthatmoldswereused on a largescale.Thesebowlsthereforestand successorsas at the beginningof a long seriesof moldmadeceramics,whichincludessuch distinguished Arretineand Wedgwoodpottery. These vesselsalso representthe firstGreekexperimentin modularart.A limitednumberof motifs, most of them stampedinto the moldswith small,re-usablemasters,reappearin countlessarrangements Thismodularapproachto the decorationof the surfaceof the bowlis a comment,albeit andcombinations. to the technoloof the workof the artist/artisan a naiveandprobablyunintentional one, on the relationship majorart,the redefinitionof humanpossibilities gy of massproduction.It reflects,as does contemporary of political,ideological,andartisticboundariesin the Hellenisticage.It is thatcamewiththe disintegration 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 the fabricof antiquityfromthe Thompson.Herlove forHellenisticminorartsandherabilityto reconstruct portionhave inspiredtwo generationsof studentsand scrapsand remnantsthat are the archaeologist's scholars.The dedicationof this volumeto her is my inadequateexpressionof gratitude,respect,andlove for her as a teacher,a scholar,and an individual.

IN I RODUCTION 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 moldmadebowl,withoutfoot or hemispherical, handles,decoratedall overits exteriorsurfacewithdesignsandfiguresin relief.Thesebowlswerethe standardAtheniandrinkingvesselsfromthe 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 includeeverystampandeverysignificant variationof shapeanddesign.Duplicatesandmanyfragments from undated or late contexts have been omitted. The bowls published by Thompson in his preliminarystudy 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 problems 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 relationships 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.

Since"Hellenistic mustbe qualifiedby the adjective"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 were made which in also Athens. hemisphericalbowls, Thatthis vesselwas hemispherical is Athenaiosalso describesa Persiandrinkingcup calleda KOV6U.8 suggestedby the storythatthe KOV6Uwas originallya sortof crystalballin whichvisionsappeared.It was bowlservesthis purposein bothAchaemenidandArchaicGreek used forlibations,and a hemispherical The comicpoets Menanderand Hipparchoseachuse the wordonce, connectingit with representations.9 10 Athein a Delianinventoryof the 3rdcentury.11 It also Menanderspeaksof a goldKOVOU, occurs the east 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. In the caseof some the medallion,distinctfromthe walldecoration. Calyx:the floralmotifsurrounding 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. it is oftenimpossibleto tell Sincethe plantswhichappearon the bowlsarenot depictednaturalistically, nameswherepossible;theseare exactlywhichplantis intended.I haveattachedthefollowingconventional illustratedon Plate 94. Nymphaealotus: roundedpetal with centralrib; there are a short (13) and a tall (62) variety. Nymphaea caerulea: pointed petal with central rib (55).
Nymphaeanelumbo:broadroundedpetal with centralrib, the tip bendingforward(375). Fern:tall,triangular pointedleaf,with centralrib and horizontalribbing(21, 138).Thismay represent the smallerleaves of the Nymphaealotus.12 7Athenaios,

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-

THE
THE ATHENIAN ORIGINS OF 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 betweenexistingpreciousbowlsand fromplastercastswhichweretakenforthispurpose.2The similarities 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 r parallelsare not so close. The Nymphaea 49, 5) appearon several ceramic bowls in the Agora ( Othe 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

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; Thompson, 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 largerfragment 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 van Ufford be natural,yet firmlyrooted in the calyx.

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 whichwas then imitatedby the Athenianpotter.This style distinctiveAlexandrianstyleof metalwork,19 had in fact alreadybeen adoptedby other toreuticcentersin the Mediterranean. ThecaseforAlexandrian by the existenceof closeparallelsbetweenceramic prototypesis strengthened moldmadebowlsandgoldglass.Thistechniqueof sandwiching decorationin goldleafbetweentwoclosely fittinglayers of glass is believed to be an Alexandrianinvention of the 3rd or early2nd century.20A hemisphericalgold-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
surrounded by two lines whichresemblethe ridgesand groovesof Atticbowls.Its wallsare coveredwith 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
also probablyof Alexandrian bowls is providedby a gold-glassbowl fromMozdokin the Caucasus,22 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.

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. 22 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.

ARCHAEOLOGICALEVIDENCE
A fairlyclose and reliabledatefor the beginningof productionof moldmadebowlsin Athenscan now be extrapolated fromthe 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 chro27 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). 28 An Inventoryof GreekCoinHoards,edd.

(Le tresorde Tarente, p. 7).

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

Thearchaeological evidence,as we haveseen,suggeststhatmoldmadebowlswereintroducedin Athens between240 and 220 andprobablyoriginatedwithAthenianpotters.Thattheywereinspiredby Alexandrianprototypesalso 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 testimonia. The existenceof the tribePtolemaisand the demeBerenikidaiis knownfrominscriptionstoo numerousto mention.Pausanias(1.5.5) tellsus thatthe Atheniansnameda tribeafterPtolemy:UOTrepoV 68 Kai TOU Muoou Kai lToAspaiou TOU Aiyunriou.He believed that the ano TOV6e (puA^g exouoiv, ATTrraAou

The tribemust thereforehave been createdbeforethe deathof PtolemyIII in Februaryof 221; strong evidenceindicatesthatit wasinstitutedin 224/3.45It wouldhavebeenmadeup of demesreasepigraphical 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 Eponymous 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 southernmost cappingblockof the pedestalshowthatat some time the tripodwas removedand replaced by a bronzestatue.Thiscanonlyhavebeenthe statueof Ptolemy,forremovalof DemetriosandAntigonos in 200 would have made space for Attalos,anotherHellenisticeponym,and a specialextensionwas Delos: Bruneau, "La vaisselle," D 2 - D 3bis, p. 240, pl. 40.

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 workthe clayof the long-petal to variations; significance shopsusedthe sameclayandthereis no chronological 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-petalbowlsmanufacturedin 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).

Thereis alsovariationin the shapeof the lip, whichmaybe nearlystraight(62)or turnout gently(240)or significant. abruptly(102). These variationsdo not appearto be chronologically Some long-petalbowlsretainthe deep,almosthemispherical shape(327,344),but othersshowmuch greatervariationthanoccursin the floralandfiguredbowls.In some casesthe bodybulgesslightlybelow 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.). ANDMILTOS GROOVES SCRAPED

There are tracesof miltos on about half of the imbricate,floral,and figuredbowls, and on about a third often of the long-petalbowls. The pigment is fugitive; 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

Long-petaldecorationoccurs on glass bowls of both shapes in the Agora (Weinberg,"HellenisticGlass Vessels from the Athenian Agora," pp. 381-391). 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 Diehl). See W. Younger, Gods, Men, and Wine, London 1966, pp. 109-111. 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. 8 Thompson believed that the miltos was applied before glazing (Thompson, p. 454).

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 morecarefullymadespecimens. 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 totalproduction of moldmade bowls in the firsthalf of the 2nd century.This figuredropsto about 10%in later contexts,

(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 Theyhavelittlein commonwiththe figuredbowlswhichwereso popularin possiblemetalprototypes.15 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 medallions. These too, however,were being made by the end of the 3rd century. FLORALBowLS16(49-92; Pls.

Thereare no clearlines of demarcation separatingfloral,imbricate,and figuredbowls;all threewere andinevitablytherearebowlswhichseemto belong by the sameworkshops, producedcontemporaneously 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 bowls"(Pnyx,p. 85; CorinthVII, floraland vegetable decoration"(Thompson,p. 455). Edwards'name for them is "leaf-and-tendril iii, pp. 156-157). If one takes the word "flora"in its broadest sense, they may simply and accuratelybe called floral bowls.

THE AGORA MATERIAL
Therearefragmrents of about200 floralbowlsfromdatedcontextsin the Agora.On the mostcommon allternatewithfloraltentype,tall,pointed(Nymphaeacaerulea)or rounded(Nymphaealotus)lotuspetals 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

Some scholarsmaintain that the floral bowls are earlierand that the calyx graduallyreceded to admit the figureswhich eventually
tookoverthe wholebowl.22Othersbelievethatthe floralelementgradually increasedandcrowdedout the TheAgoradepositsofferno realsupportforeithercontention.Theearliestdepositswhichcontain figures.23 moldmadebowlshavefragmentsof all fourtypes:pine-cone,imbricate,floral,andfigured.It can only be in aboutequal saidthatat the beginningof productionfloral,imbricate,andfiguredbowlsarerepresented 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 in Sullandestruction debrisof 86 B.C. occurin contextslaiddownafterca 145andarenotwellrepresented 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). 18 Thompson, p. 351, under C 16. 19For the silver bowls see "Les bols m6gariens,"p. 15, figs. 12, 13; p. 18, fig. 16; pp. 20-21, figs. 18-20.

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 mythologicalcreaturesare 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 diamonds(101),andthe like.M borate examplesshowantithetical figures,oftenflankingkraters.The most popularfigureswere Erotesand rampantgoats(99, 103-121,143, 145),but satyrs(122-129),Nikai (139,140,143,144),cocks(134-138),griffins(167-169),andcentaursplayingmusicalinstruments(129-132, 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 but more often runningin one chariots(150-153,275-277)are shown, sometimesplacedantithetically directionaroundthe bowl. thehe lattercase they seem to representraces or hunts.

Manyof the same Theserepresentational schemesin turnfallinto stampsappearbut theyarearrangedmorenaturalistically. 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 and the huntingmosaicsfromPella huntersare similarto those of figureson the AlexanderSarcophagus (246-251).Sometimeshuntingscenesare combinedwith antitheticalgroups(260,263),or the stampsof is less huntersand theirpreyareused in a stylizedcomposition(238).Usually,however,the arrangement stiff than on the idyllic or mythologicalbowls.

FIGURES DERIVED FROM TERRACOTTAALTARS
Fourof the most commonmythologicalgroupsknownon Attic bowlsalso occuron the foursidesof small, terracottaincense altars,which have been found throughoutthe Mediterraneanfrom Sicily to Asia
cameto lightin Taranto;WuilleuA largenumberof theseand the moldsfortheirmanufacture 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, thereas well.29 thattheirbeginningswereelsewhere,perhapsin Athens;they wereat leastmanufactured 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 photographof 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) Thisgroupcanbe seen clearlyon 214and216(Pls.42,43, 82).At the left standsa frontalfemalefigure, wearinga peplos and holdinga situlaor oinochoein her righthand.At the rightis a partiallydraped, beardedman holdinga trident(or sometimesa scepter)in the crookof his left arm.He extendshis right armtowardsthe womanandrestshis handon herleft shoulder.The woman'sleft armis bentso thather Reutlingen1924,E 120, p. 50, pl. 32; A.

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).

Thereareexamplesof bothbustsandwholefigureson wheelmadebowls.Courbygivesa list of figures 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. WORKSHOPS ATTRIBUTIONS
The largenumbersof moldmadebowlsproducedin Athensand the differencesin style and arrangementof stampsindicatethatseveraldifferentworkshopsweremanufacturing the bowlsat the sametime.60 Eachshopused its own distinctivestamps,at leastfor the minordecorativedetails.It is thereforepossible 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,canleavesomewhatdifferentimpressions.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. Conversely,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 workshop;presumablyboth were takenfromthe samepatrixor positivemodel.For instance,the sametwohorsechariotstampwasused 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.

THE AGORA MATERIAL
It wouldbe easierfor a shop to makeits own stampsfor motifs,and, to a lesser degree,medallions.63 spirals,birds,flowers,andthe like thanto copythemfromanothershop.Thesemotifs,however,aresmall and in manycasesthe stampsthatproducedthemwerewornor sloppilyapplied;henceattributions must the rim the truein caseswhereattribution on oftenbe uncertain.Thisis particularly since depends pattern, rimis the firstpartof the moldto showwearandmaybe faintevenwhenthe restof the bowlis fairlyfresh. In the Cataloguea questionmarkappearsaftertentativeattributions. 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). anothersmallgroup,is probablyalsoseparatefromthe others.Thefourremaining Hausmann's Workshop, which I call mayhavebeenmadeby one of the largershopsbuttheyaredifferentenough "classes", groups, 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 rosettein the field.By comparisonof wereusedon bothfor the frondsof the calyxand the eight-petaled 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 characteristic rim, 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 at a time gorgoneionand Parthenosare copiedonly rarely.Perhapsthese designsservedas trademarks 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 or chevronsare an ovolo (e.g. 139,170),althoughsometimesmore elaboratepatternswith crosshatching employed(e.g. 242). Beadingis a common featurebut jewelingnever appears. are 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).

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 shopindicatethatit 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.

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 We may concludethat some evidenceforvarioustypesof factories,amongthem a terracotta workshop.7' 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

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). 74Agora IV, no. 607; cf. 99, 101-103. 72

LONG-PETALBOWLS (321-358;Pls. 58-64, 87) Aroundthe middleof the 2nd centurya new typeof bowlwithsimpleschematicdecorationwasintroduced.Thewallsof thesebowlsarecoveredwithlong,roundedpetalswithno centralribs,eitherset close togetheror separatedby linesof jeweling,sometimeswitha palmette(e.g.353),lotusbud(e.g.340),or leaf bowlshas or "long-petal" (e.g. 336) at the top. Courbycalledthese "bolsa godrons",but "long-petaled" become the generallyacceptedEnglishterminology.78 ORIGINS
Likethe firstmoldmadebowlsof the 3rdcentury,long-petalbowlsdidnot developfromearlierceramics 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 It has a plainmedallion(cf. 328,350)andlong, concavepetalswhoserounded the late 2nd centuryB.C.83 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 78

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) A few smallfragbut, of these contexts,only E 15:4 can be saidwith confidenceto be uncontaminated. 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
fill of the Stoaof Attalos(P-Q 6-12), whichwasclosed bowlswerenot foundin the extensiveconstruction 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 in Athensuntila few yearsafterthe middleof the 2nd century,and unlikelyto havebeen manufactured thisis the dateI haveusedthroughoutthisvolume.In the lightof the somewhatambiguousevidencecited and the possibilitythatit shouldbe pushed above,however,that datemust be consideredapproximate, backby somefifteenyearsor so shouldbe left open.Onlythe discoveryof moredepositswell fixedin the second quarterof the 2nd centurycan ultimatelysolve the dilemma. 86

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, rosette,is also foundon figuredbowlsproducedby WorkshopA althoughthe medallion,an eight-petaled in the late3rdandearly2nd centuries.The decorativeschemeis not farremovedfromthe talloverlapping inconclupetalsandserratedleavesof 54.Thecontextof 344is, unfortunately, petalsof 23 or the alternating potteryin a settlingbasinin frontof the sive,sinceit wasfoundtogetherwitha smalldepositof nondescript about 140 (I 14:2).Althoughit has been classed Heliaia,a depositwhichmay haveremainedopen until with imbricate here with long-petalbowls,344 may in factbe more closelyrelatedto and contemporary 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.

Since most of the decorationof the long-petalbowlsis very simpleand handdrawn,it is difficultto distinguishbetweenthe productsof differentshops.However,the practiceof signingbowlsbecamemore with popularin the secondhalfof the 2ndcenturyandwe can,by combiningthe evidenceof the signatures 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.

IMPORTEDBOWLS (365-404,410; Pls. 65-69, 87-89, 97) It is notalwayspossibleto distinguishbetweenimportedbowlsandnativeAthenianproducts.Thereis a temptationto labelas importedanybowlwhosedecorationdeviatesfromthe usualAttictypes.In separating out the imports,three criteriahave been used: shape, fabric,and decoration. the shapeof the rim,is the most usefulindicator,sinceAtticrims(exceptthoseof Shape,particularly 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 In some cases Attic;possiblysome of them are Corinthian.Bowlsmade of grayclayare problematical. 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 a fact of thesefragments(375)wasmadein the samemoldas P 3377,a bowlfromThompson'sGroupE,121 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 A largenumberof fragmentsfindparallelsat Delos (365,367,377,384,391,392, thattheyareCorinthian. little this is of but 398,401), help since the "Delian"bowlsare believedto havebeen importedto Delos centerson the westcoastof AsiaMinor.122Thegreatamountof tradecarriedon in fromas yetundesignated the Hellenisticperiodmakesit uncertainwhetherthe bowls foundon any site were producedthereor elsewhere,unlessa largenumberof moldsarefoundon the siteas well.Someof the importedfragmentsin andTarsus, the Agorafindparallelsat suchsitesas Antioch,Hama,Samaria,Kyme,Pergamon,Labraunda, Anatolia in or from somewhere andso probablycome Syria (372,373,378,379,381,383,385,388,391,400, 403). 120

DEPOSITS INTRODUCTION The studyof AthenianHellenisticpotteryhas not yet advancedto the pointwherea pot maybe dated It mustinsteadbe datedby the contextin whichit wasfound,whichis in turndatedby the independently. studyof any datableobjectsit may contain.Terracotta lamps,for whichRichardHowlandestablisheda relativechronology,1 can give some clue, but the absolutedatesassignedto themare in need of revision. The only objectswhichprovidea firm basis for datingin the Hellenisticperiodare the coins and the stampedhandlesof storageamphoras. 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). betweenthese names,particularly on physicallyjoined pairsof handles,in Studyof the interrelations 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 COINS
Fred Kleinerhas recentlyproposeda chronologyfor the AthenianNew Stylebronzecoinageissued between200 and 86 B.C. His conclusionsare basedon studyand comparisonof the bronzecoins from Hellenisticdepositsand hoardsfromAthensand elsewherein Attica.5He lists 16 majortypesof bronze 1See Agora IV. 2

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 thundercoinsof thisissuecan bolt ("fulminating Zeus")witha starbetweencrescentsas a symbolon the reverse;7 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 ratherthan historicalevidence,and his dates depend forcedto base his conclusionson archaeological heavilyon thoseof the stampedamphorahandles.Thisis mostobviousin his comparisonof the fillsof the Hellenisticstoasin the Agora.9Grace'sresearchesindicatethatthe lateststampedamphorahandlesin the fillof the Middle fillunderthe Stoaof Attalosareaboutthirty-five yearslaterthanthosein the construction Stoa.Sheconcludesthatthe MiddleStoafillwasclosedaround180B.C., the fillof the Stoaof Attalosabout 146 B.C.(see H-K 12-14 andP-R 6-12). The samecoinsarefoundin bothfills.10New typesdo notappear fill of SouthStoaII around140 B.C. (M-N 15:1).11Kleinerconcludes untilthe closingof the construction thatfora periodof aboutthirty-five years,ca. 180 to ca. 145 B.C., the Athenianmintstruckno coins.This conclusionseemsjustified,but it mustbe rememberedthatit is supportedsolelyby the chronologyof the stampedamphorahandles.If thatwereto be adjusted,the datingof the coins,too, wouldhaveto change.

Depositsin the samesquareareassignedadditional 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 appropriate place in the discussion.

She basedthisconjectureon threeRhodianstampedamphorahandles,whichwereformerlydatedto the secondquarterof the 3rdcentury.28 Accordingto the revisedchronology,however,thesehandlesdate to ca. 222,241-225,and 222-217.29Thereforeanyconnectionwiththe Chremonidean Waris impossible. The firstaccumulation comesto an end,at the earliest,earlyin the fourthquarterof the 3rdcentury.This loweruse fill containsno moldmadebowls,and this offersconfirmation for the new, laterdatefor their inception. UPPERUSE FILL(AbschnittenV-VIII)30 Moldmadebowlsfirstappearin AbschnittV, the lowerpartof the upperuse fill. Theyappearas well-
developedfiguredtypes,and the hypothesisof a gap of some yearsbetweenthe two fills seemsjustified. Braun,relyingagainon the stampedamphorahandles,datedthe lowestpartof this fill around230; the uppermostpartand the dumpaboveit she associatedwith PhilipVs raidon Athensin ca. 200.31The reviseddatesof the stampedamphorahandlesprecludethispossibility.The fabricantof a Rhodianhandle fromAbschnittV (no. 135) datesit betweenca. 208 and 196;the RhodianeponymArchidamosdatesa handlefromAbschnittVII(no. 159)to ca. 192;andthe KnidianstampfromAbschnittVIII(no. 183)dates slightlybefore188.Twoof thesethreehandlesthereforedatewellafterPhilip'sactivitiesaroundthe city.32 The rimpatternsof mostof the bowlsareblurred,indicatingthatthe moldswerejustbeginningto show wear.The bowlsin AbschnittenV and VI are for the most partfromthe Workshopof Bion (nos. 129, 131-133,143)andWorkshopA (nos. 128, 130, 134).Bowlsof WorkshopA arealsofoundin Abschnitten VII-VIII(nos. 148,149, 175?),butbowlsof Bionareabsent Therearetwobowlsof Class2 (nos. 150, 174) and perhapsone of the M MonogramClass(no. 147). This impliesthat the upperuse fill accumulated from ca. 200 to perhapsslightlyafter 175. DUMP(AbschnittenIX-XII)33
Comparisonof the materialin AbschnittenIX and X withthatin AbschnittVIII,the highestpartof the seconduse fill, suggestedto Braunthatthe dumpwaslittleif anylaterthanthe top of the seconduse fill. She does,however,notefourbronzecoins,whichshe datesto 167/6orlater,andcitesthemas evidencefor continueduse of the well.34Kleinerhas datedthis issue on stylisticand iconographical groundsbetween 150and 140.35Thereweretwo bowlsof the MMonogramClassin the dumpfill,36butno long-petalbowls.
