The monograph examines 103 painted vessels discovered during the excavations of the necropolis of ancient Apollonia Pontica in the 1990s. The ceramic forms and images are examined in their archaeological and cultural-historical context. Created in classical Athens in the 5th-4th centuries BC, pictorial narratives on vessels played the role of one of the most influential media in the dissemination of the values of Athenian society. At the same time, they clearly capture the identity of the multicultural community that was formed on the territory of the Pontic city as a result of contacts with various centres in the Mediterranean world, with the inhabitants of Inner Thrace and with the powerful Thracian kingdoms in the area. The edition contains 233 illustrations and 10 tables with data on the context of the objects, the composition of the clay and statistical information.
