  • CAVI Collection: Brussels, Musées Royaux R 303.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF pointed amphora. From Vulci. Syleus Painter{1}. First quarter fifth.
  • CAVI Subject: Upper zone: A: Gigantomachy (Athena and Poseidon against giants). B: Theseus and the bull. Lower zone: A-B: Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Upper zone: B: behind Theseus' back: Θεσευς. To left of a man with a scepter, retr.: Π(ο)(σ)ειδον{2}. Lower zone: A-B: above the second centaur from the left (who is modern!): Κ[...]σο{3}. Above the fourth Lapith's shield: traces of an inscription. Above the fifth Lapith's shield, retr.: υπιν{3}. Above the ninth Lapith's shield: καλο[ς].
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} according to Robertson, Robertson (1992), close to Copenhagen and Syriskos Painters (see R. on this group of painters). {2} the text of CVA has (retr.): Πανειδον. Not visible in the CVA photo. {3} so CVA, text. Nonsense?
  • CAVI Comments: Much restored, especially the centauromachy, see Gymn. 70, 343, n. 8. The lettering sloppy and variable, some letters disjointed. CVA's readings are not very trustworthy.
