This book opens up a new window into the Hellenistic world through a close study of mouldmade bowls, their places of production (both in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean), iconographies and distribution. The authorâs unique access to material in the Black Sea Region provides the backbone to a rare comparative approach to an important type of vessel that traditionally has been studied in local isolation.
Pia Guldager Bilde (â 2013) was director of the Danish National Research Foundationâs Centre for Black Sea Studies, Aarhus University, from 2002 to 2010. Her publications are wide ranging with a focus on central Italy and Hellenistic pottery including several volumes of Black Sea Studies (Aarhus University Press).
Susan Rotroff, PhD (1976) is emerita professor at Washington University in St Louis. She has published several monographs on Hellenistic pottery and on the archaeology of the Agora of Athens, Greece.
