Past scholarship on Corinthian vase-painting of the Archaic period has long overlooked Akragas, since the body of evidence from the settlement was relatively scanty or not well known. The recent and remarkable investigations around temple D and in the residential area provide an opportunity to bridge this gap. Therefore, this paper deals with Corinthian figured pottery excavated from Akragas at large, that is from the sanctuaries, residential areas and cemeteries. Based on a stylistic and contextual approach, this study offers an updated and comprehensive overview of both published and unpublished Corinthian pottery imported to Akragas. It deals with the following aspects: a) nature and peculiarities of Corinthian imports in the Mediterranean and local contexts; b) their distribution within the city; c) relationship with specific painters and/or workshops; d) the absolute chronology of Corinthian pottery style.

Nella storia degli studi sulla ceramograia corinzia di età arcaica, Akragas ha a lungo costituito una lacuna, essendo limitato o poco noto il corpus delle evidenze dalla città. Le recenti e importanti indagini condotte intorno al tempio D e nell’abitato ofrono l’occasione di colmare questa lacuna. Pertanto, questo studio è dedicato alla ceramica corinzia igurata da Akragas, proveniente da scavi dalle aree sacre, dall’abitato e dalle necropoli. Su base contestuale e stilistico-formale, questo studio fornisce un quadro aggiornato ed estensivo delle ceramiche igurate d’importazione corinzia ad Akragas, sia edite che inedite. Si afrontano, dunque, i seguenti aspetti: a) i caratteri e le peculiarità delle importazioni corinzie nel contesto Mediterraneo e locale; b) la loro distribuzione all’interno della città; c) il rapporto con speciici ceramograi e/o oicine; d) la cronologia assoluta dello stile vascolare corinzio.

Abstract

Past scholarship on Corinthian vase-painting of the Archaic period has long overlooked Akragas, since the body of evidence from the settlement was relatively scanty or not well known. The recent and remarkable investigations around temple D and in the residential area provide an opportunity to bridge this gap. Therefore, this paper deals with Corinthian figured pottery excavated from Akragas at large, that is from the sanctuaries, residential areas and cemeteries. Based on a stylistic and contextual approach, this study offers an updated and comprehensive overview of both published and unpublished Corinthian pottery imported to Akragas. It deals with the following aspects: a) nature and peculiarities of Corinthian imports in the Mediterranean and local contexts; b) their distribution within the city; c) relationship with specific painters and/or workshops; d) the absolute chronology of Corinthian pottery style.
