Abstract | The article is devoted to the study of two red slip vessels discovered during new construction of the Tavrida highway in Crimea – a figured vessel in the form of an image of a bull and a fragmented patera with a relief gorgonion in the center of the bottom. Complete analogies to the first vessel, dated to the last quarter of the 1st century AD and made in an unidentified center in Asia Minor, were never found, despite a significant number of morphologically similar smaller vessels dating back to Hellenistic times. The fragmented Knidian patera is easily restored thanks to a direct parallel – a find from the necropolis "Sovkhoz No. 10", and dates back to the first half of the 2nd centuryAD. |
