Description
The total number of extant Apulian red-figured vases cannot fall far short of 10,000, and the present work (the first of two volumes) is the first attempt to survey the history and development of the fabric as a whole, from its beginnings in the later fifth century BC to its end around 300. It does not attempt to give a complete corpus, but the authors have tried to include all the more significant workshops and to give a representative selection of the minor pieces.
Many Apulian vases display a very high level of technical and artistic competence, and the representations upon them are often of remarkable interest, not only for their illustrations of mythological and theatrical themes but also for the light they shed upon the daily life, customs, and religious
beliefs of the Greek colonists and native inhabitants of Apulia.

Description
More than 5000 vases from Apulia are classified and catalogued in these volumes. These vases are of great importance for the history of Greek art and, in their representations, for our knowledge of Greek mythology and for illustration of lost literature.
