Su un dinos a figure nere da Falerii Veteres

A black figured dinos decorated with two animal friezes was discovered between 1886 and 1889 in FALERII VETERES, La Penna necropolis, tomb 147 (LXXX) (LXXI1 Cozza). The vase does not appear in the monumental work of JD. Beazley dedicated to the Attic black figured vases, published in 1956 (ABM), although it includes other black figured vases discovered in the same tomb. The attribution of the vase has created problems even for AB. Brownlee, the greatest expert on Attic black figured DINOI. the DINOS, according to the shape and the style of the figures, can be dated to the end of the second quarter of the 6'1' century B.C. and can be attributed to Attic production. In particular, it can be compared to a DINOS discovered in LAVINIUM. Moreover, this study has brought into evidence contacts with the «Corinthian» Beotic pottery, Chalcidian pottery, the Campana Dinoi, East Greek Pottery (especially Clazonienian) and the Campana HYDRIAE. Arcliaeometric analyses of the DINOS have evidenced a high presence of copper with a concentration (? 0,3 %) significantly greater than the other vases analysed (less then 300 ppin). Analysis of the chromium and nickel concentrations, the most important element to determine the clay origin, has not yielded decisive data, while analysis of the strontium and rubidium concentrations has shown for our DINOS values very close to those of the DINOS from LAVINIUM.
