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.
