Roman North African Red Slip Fragment of Deidameia ca. 4th to 5th cent. A.D.. Fragment shows Deidameia, daughter of King Lycomedes of Skyros, kneeling begging Achilles not to leave for the Trojan Wars. See Herrmann and van den Hoek, page 79. Roman North African redware fragments come from a very interesting time when Pagan and Christian motifs where used on vessels produced for the games and other special events. A new and exciting book on the subject has just come out, Light From the Age of Augustine by John J. Herrmann, Jr. and Annewies van den Hoek. This book sheds new information on many pieces once misunderstood. Many of the fragments are referenced to the book, which we have available for $20 unsigned or $27.50 for signed. W. 3".
