Imagery and Identity: The Monumental Vases of Ancient Apulia
GETTY VILLA
Auditorium
Richly decorated with complex imagery and narrative scenes, large figure-decorated vases of the 4th century B.C. found in Apulia (southeastern Italy) served as proud statements of identity. Archaeologist Tom Carpenter examines these vases and the funerary assemblages in which they were found to shed light on the otherwise little-known Apulian people. Complements the exhibition Dangerous Perfection: Funerary Vases from Southern Italy. Free; a ticket is required.
