This study not only increases the total number of published stamps from Crete, but it also enhances our understanding of the provenience and chronological profiles of the Italian sigillata imported to the island. Comparison with stamps from other cities and sites on Crete and in the Greek East documents the island's position at the crossroads of patterns of contact and exchange.","PeriodicalId":44554,"journal":{"name":"Annual of the British School at Athens","volume":"3 1","pages":"503 - 568"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80017040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although badly damaged, the frieze preserves details of the vessel, its rig, and land transport system. This representation demonstrates clearly that the Panathenaic ship is patterned after an Archaic galley. A ship model/lamp from the Erechtheion may represent the Panathenaic ship.
