Riassunto

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Terra Sigillata: Treated From a Chronological Standpoint

Next to datable inscriptions, there is, perhaps, no relic of Roman occupa tion which yields such valuable chronological evidence as Term Sigillata the red-glazed fabric of Gaul and other provinces - commonly known as Samian ware.

The variations and transmutations of its forms, the changing character of its decorative designs in successive periods, and the marks of its potters, tell a chronological tale almost, if not quite, as convincing as the transitions of the column and arch in architecture.
