  • CAVI Collection: Florence 3773.+
  • CAVI Lemma: Fragmentary BF Tyrrhenian neck amphora. From Tarquinia. Castellani Painter (Bothmer). Third quarter sixth. Early period (Kluiver).
  • CAVI Subject: Body: upper zones: A: Amphiaraos leaving home. B: chariot race{1}. Lower zones: A: Heracles and Amazons. B: Dionysus with satyrs and maenads. Neck: A: fight. B: arming: the right half is clear: a nude and bearded man is confronted by three women, two of whom carry shields, the third a sword(?).
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: neck: B: at the extreme lower right, facing the margin: (α)(ε)φχι{2}. Shoulder: A: to right of the head of the charioteer of the second chariot: γ(τ)ο(ε){3}. Between the wheel and the rear of the horses of the front chariot: οτοακγ{4}. Between the horses' legs: γτο(ε){5}.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} Shapiro thinks the subject is the Funeral Games for Patroclus: three chariots are racing; the last is crashing to the ground; at right, a goal post with a cauldron on top; bleachers with six unlookers; a tripod. {2} the first letter is a blob; the second is uncertain but perhaps an epsilon, though not lying on its side as the others; the third letter is a phi or perhaps theta. {3} the tau is not clear; the epsilon is horizontal with short vertical strokes; this could also be read retr. {5} epsilon as the last. The inscription is identical with the first in this scene.
  • CAVI Comments: + Berlin 1711. Very peculiar letter forms, characteristic of the Castellani Painter.
