Date: ca. 165-150 B.C.. inscribed 'of Demetrios' This bowl, like 98.8.26 nearby, is inscribed by the potter Demetrios.

RMPAC1PF–Terracotta Megarian bowl. Culture: Greek, Boeotian. Dimensions: h. 3 1/4 in. (8.3 cm); w. 5 1/2 in. (14 cm). Date: 2nd century B.C.. This vase belongs to a select group of bowls decorated in relief with scenes from epic poetry and from Classical Greek tragedy.

RMPAJKA4–Terracotta Megarian bowl. Culture: Greek, Boeotian. Dimensions: d. 5 9/10 in (15.01 cm). Date: 2nd century B.C.. All but one of the figures on this bowl are inscribed. From left to right, the Cretan king Idomeneus attacks Phaistos as he steps into his chariot. To right of this vignette, Athena and Ares sit on rocks, facing a personification of the river Skamandros, while observing a fight between Agammenon and a now nameless Trojan foe. The subject matter on this bowl closely follows an episode in book V of Iliad, in which Athena exhorts Ares, the god of war, to remain neutral during the spec

RMPAM26E–Terracotta Megarian bowl. Culture: Roman. Dimensions: h. 2 7/8 in. (7.3 cm);d. 3 15/16 in. (10 cm). Date: ca. 150-75 B.C.. The decorative motifs on this unglazed, hemispherical bowl are hallmarks of the workshop of C. Popilius: a row of beads below which are zones of garlands and shields; grape clusters and leaves; garlands suspended from bucrania interspersed with theatrical masks; and finally, a frieze of small satyr heads. A bowl signed by Popilius in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston with similar decoration, contains an inscription indicating that it was made in central Italy, suggesting pe

The relief patterns decorating this bowl are often found on wares produced by some of the more well attested makers of hemispherical plain fired pottery. Shields, for example, were a motif particularly favored by C. Popilius, as seen on the bowl in this case that bears his signature (96.18.79). The wave ornament and zone of long petals on this bowl however, find parallels on vessels signed by Lapius, a contemporary of Popilius. This unsigned bowl was probably made by a
