Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to a pottery style created primarily in Capua and Cumae in the region of Campania, Italy, beginning in the second quarter of the 4th century BCE. It is generally characterized by rather small vases of various shapes, including a distinctive bail amphora, and decoration is typically painted in Red-figure style with women's flesh added in white. Themes are usually funerary or mythological scenes, with female heads added as subsidiary decoration below the handles of hydriai and on the necks of amphorae. Certain details are peculiar only to this style, including distinctive helmets and a particular type of cuirass.
