hardcover, relie, , 280x220mm, 208p, 130 colour illustrations, 170 bw illustrations, French edition . ISBN 9789461612830. Entre le milieu du IIe siecle et la fin du IIe siecle, dans la moyenne vallee du Rhone, des artisans potiers fabriquent des vases sur lesquels sont appliques des medaillons histories. Les decors ornant ces appliques renvoient a quatre principaux themes : la religion et la mythologie, la propagande, les jeux de l'amphitheatre et du cirque et les scenes erotiques. On evalue le nombre de pieces connues a environ un millier et le sol arlesien en a procure un peu plus de 150 que ce catalogue donne a voir. L'ornementation de ces medaillons est de qualite diverse, mais quelques-uns sont de veritables petites oeuvres d'art. Certains sujets sont d'une lecture evidente, d'autres porteurs de messages particulierement sophistiques supposant une solide culture pour qui les avaient devant les yeux. On s'interroge sur cette production qui s'est developpee sur une aire geographique aussi restreinte et durant une periode limitee a environ cent cinquante ans. En verite, s'il est relativement aise d'exprimer le sens de ces decors moules, on peine encore a comprendre le role de ces vases 0 g. Seller Inventory # 50653
