CAVI Lemma: RF Nolan amphora From Nola. Polygnotos. Ca. 450.
CAVI Subject: A: Amazon on horseback fighting a Greek warrior. B: three draped youths.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: between the figures: καλος. Under foot, Gr.: ΣΠΑ·Β. I.e.: σπα[θαι]· Β. See
Johnston (1979), 163/18F 4 and p. 230{1}; Hackl (1909), no. 498.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Johnston says the Β is `inscrutable,' as it can hardly be a Milesian
numeral at this date. The preceding raised dot (as given by Furtw.) is also
curious.
CAVI Comments: σπαθη must be a vase name, perhaps this type of amphora; see Johnston (1979).
