| Yhteenveto: | This article adds two newly-discovered examples of the ceizra makers’ stamp on creamware askoi from the sites of Gabii and Populonia to this series of Etruscan stamps from the Hellenistic period. This is the first Etruscan inscription found at Gabii. While previous discussions of this stamp have focused on questions of linguistic and prosopographical interest, this study attempts to reconstruct the original vessel form and examines the context of use and reasons for the distribution of this object in Etruria and Latium. Makers’ marks of this period, the precursors to the well-studied terra sigillata stamps of the same region, are also considered as part of the regional style of using seals to demarcate and decorate ceramic vessels. |
