Abstract

Panathenaics. Tradition, permanence and derivation. What are Panathenaic amphorae? After two hundred years of reports about this type of vase, this question seems naïve; however the current debate shows some inconsistencies. Thus, given the importance of this type of vase to the research of Ceramology, Archaeology and Political, Cultural and Economic History it is important to go back to this question: what are Panathenaic amphorae? The aim of this research is to discuss the characterization of the Panathenaic vase starting at the archaeological debate (the typology) and examining the production context (the tradition of the craftsman), the primary and secondary insertion (its meaning inside the festival) and lastly, the many mentions of it, dealing with two basic elements: the delimitation of Panathenaic vase against pseudo-Panathenaic vase and its meaning taking part of the prize at the Great Panathenaia. The understanding of this process from a diachronic x approach will be based on traditional elements, especially the production derived from this type of vase. (AU)
