This study of an important class of ceramics from the key coastal
colonial site of Cosa in southwest Tuscany documents the rise of
Republican Rome to dominance in central Italy in the third and
second centuries BC. Excavation and survey work by the American
Academy in Rome and others at Cosa over the past half-century have
greatly enriched our knowledge of the organization and exploitation
of the resources of the countryside, and the patterns of economic
exchange to which they testify. These latter are particularly
evident in the varieties of imported and locally made black-glaze
pottery that have been recovered in the excavations. Ann Reynolds
Scott catalogues and analyzes five unpublished deposits of
black-glaze pottery from Cosa. Her analysis includes comparative
material from other sites and typological distribution charts of
the various productions. She also reevaluates the deposits of
pottery from the site that were previously published. Abundant
evidence from Cosa and its territory and from north-central and
south Italy also allows the author to put previously published
black-glaze pottery from Cosa into its proper context and, with the
new evidence, to consider the changing economic fortunes of the
town after Italy had been re-secured from Hannibal for Rome. The
book gives a general overview of the classes of black-glaze pottery
and the present state of black-glaze pottery research in Italy. It
will be a prime research tool for scholars working on ancient
ceramics of this class and for historians of Republican Rome.
