Black-gloss ware is a fine ware produced from the 4th to the 1st
centuries BC - in some areas until the early Empire - and used as
table ware, for funerary vessels and for ritual purposes. This ware
developed in part from later Attic production, spread widely in the
Mediterranean, and in part from local traditions. This work focuses
on two main topics: A reconstruction of the geography of
black-gloss ware workshops in ancient Italy, including aspects of
the organization and management of production; and a proposal for a
new approach to the study of black-gloss ware with the aim of
compiling local and regional histories of ancient Italy in relation
to the growth and development of Roman power. Whoever studies the
Republican period will inevitably come across black-gloss ware and
all its complexities. This class of vessels represents one of the
main chronological and cultural indicators of this period and can
reflect, in the development of its shapes, decorations and its
quantitative distribution, the process of meetings between Rome and
the various cultures of ancient Italy. In some parts of Italy the
appearance of black-gloss ware takes place at the same time as
Roman expansion, with the foundation of colonies and the spread of
Roman cults. The study of black-gloss ware, therefore, also
necessitates studying the course of the Roman military conquest and
consequent integration of the peoples of ancient Italy, as well as
trading patterns and the movements of the craftsmen, who carried
the techniques, styles and methods of decorating pottery typical of
their original region, to the new colonies to which they moved.
