The aim of this study is to investigate the rationales behind the reception, on their arrival on the Tyrrhenian coasts, of such masterpieces of the Attic red-figured pieces of pottery in the early V century BC as the kylix of Euphronios of Cerveteri, the Hydria Vivenzio from Nola, both with a scene of Ilioupersis, and the cup of Brygos from Capua with Herakles' satyromachy on it. A study of iconographic programmes and above all of their specific relevance to the places where they were received sheds light of the proactive role played by the local aristocratic patrons who demanded Attic figure pottery, because it could more fully appropriate the system of meanings that was conveyed by its images.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the rationales behind the reception, on their arrival on the Tyrrhenian coasts, of such masterpieces of the Attic red-figured pieces of pottery in the early V century BC as the kylix of Euphronios of Cerveteri, the Hydria Vivenzio from Nola, both with a scene of Ilioupersis, and the cup of Brygos from Capua with Herakles' satyromachy on it. A study of iconographic programmes and above all of their specific relevance to the places where they were received sheds light of the proactive role played by the local aristocratic patrons who demanded Attic figure pottery, because it could more fully appropriate the system of meanings that was conveyed by its images.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
