A descriptive catalogue divides the pottery into eight groups, arranged into chronologically differentiated layers. Prefacing the catalogue of each group, a brief general description gives the location, chronological limitations, basis for dating, etc., and then the individual items are described in considerable detail.","","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Agora V","1959","","","","Agora:Publication:Agora 5","Agora","Robinson, H.

B. L. Webster on the theatrical figurines. Nearly half of the 1,100 items are illustrated with photographs. The subjects of the (mostly fragmentary) figurines are revealing. To the Greek deities of earlier times are added Oriental figures like Serapis, Isis, Harpokrates, Attis, as well as Egyptian priests and Asiatic dancers. The molded “plastic” lamps that are included in this volume were probably made in the same workshops as the figurines.","","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Agora VI","1961","","","","Agora:Publication:Agora 6","Agora","Grandjouan, C.","Terracottas and Plastic Lamps of the Roman Period","Agora:Image:2009.09.0037::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0037.jpg::104::150"
