Note 1243 — Chapter VIII · Rome

Vases and bronzes have been attributed to local workshops on stylistic grounds. The frescoes must obviously have been executed in situ. As regards the architectural terra cottas, their size and the number required for each building raise the question of local fabric quite apart from their style and technique. Unfortunately hitherto remains of this sort have been inadequately excavated and no less inadequately published. Rizzo, whose valuable article on the Conca finds is referred to more fully below, regards the earliest Conca series as “di manufattura non di arte locale.”
