Il Kyathos Gsell 100. Appunti su una forma del bucchero vulcente

One of the most characteristic shapes of bucchero production at Vulci is the kyathos of the “Gsell 100” type. The present contribution aims to provide a synthesis of the current state of research on this vessel type. Despite the considerable advances achieved by recent scholarship, interpretation remains limited by the small number of securely documented contexts. This constraint is largely due to the extensive disturbance of the Vulci necropoleis, which, as is well known, were subjected to almost two centuries of both official and illicit excavation.
