Extract

In the study of decorated Terra Sigillata from a chronological point of view the work of the potter Butrio occupies an important place, for it is not only typical of the Trajanic period, especially of the decade of A.D. 110–120, but in many respects the style is transitional between the characteristics of Flavian and Hadrian-Antonine potters. Most of Butrio's figure-types reveal (as will be shown) a close association with Libertus on the one hand, both potters using many types in common; whilst on the other hand the Hadrianic potters of Blickweiler and the Hadrian-Antonine potter Paternus of Lezoux have in turn utilised figure-types occurring on the bowls of Butrio. In fact, out of 97 figure-types known to have been used by Butrio, as many as 49 occur on bowls signed by Libertus.
