Терракоты из Тарента в коллекции Одесского археологического музея

Abstract

Fourteen terracotta sculptures of Tarentum presented to Odessa Archaeological Museum in 1900 have been published in the article. The sculptures are divided into several plot-line groups, as well as into two chronological periods. The first period (V–IV Centuries A.D.) comprises the images of Dionysus reclining, Artemis Bendis, Demeter and a comical actor. Images of a woman and a child with goose, as well as votive women’s heads, belong to the second period (III–II Centuries B.C.).
