This is the first monograph devoted solely to the ceramics of
Cyprus in the Hellenistic and Roman Periods. The island was by then
no longer divided into kingdoms but unified politically, first
under Ptolemaic Egypt and later as a province in the Roman Empire.
Submission to foreign rule was previously thought to have diluted -
if not obliterated - the time-honoured distinctive Cypriot
character. The ceramic evidence suggests otherwise. The
distribution of local and imported pottery in Cyprus points to the
existence of several regional exchange networks, a division that
also seems reflected by other evidence. The similarities in
material culture, exchange patterns and preferential practices are
suggestive of a certain level of regional collective
self-awareness. From the 1st century BC onwards, Cyprus became
increasingly engulfed by mass produced and standardized ceramic
fine wares, which seem ultimately to have put many of the
indigenous makers of similar products out of business - or forced
them to modify their output. Also, the ceramic record gradually
became less diverse during the Roman Period than before -
developments which we today might be inclined to view as symptoms
of an early form of globalisation.
