This classification of ceramics discovered in Roman Scythia is a revised and updated English translation of amonograph first published in Romanian in 1996. Its aim is to identify where possible local production centres as well as the main commercial trade routes with the Aegean, Mediterranean and Near East. This would help create a picture of the development of Scythia's economy during its centuries of Roman rule. Well-illustrated throughout with good quality photographs as well as figures, the book discusses each form and type in turn before considering the function of the vessels, the workshops, the sources of imported vessels. Two final interpretive essays examine Scythia's economic relations with the ceramic centres of the late Roman Empire and the nature and the pattern of pottery production and trade.
