Cenomani, Verona, Celtic decorated pottery, Celtic coarse ware, Iron age potteryThis paper examines the decorative patterns present in the coarse ware of the plains around Verona (including the town of Verona itself) between the 4th and the 1st centuries BC, in the period in which the Celtic tribe of the Cenomani settled in this area. Incised, impressed, and relief decorations are documented. The most significant motifs (dotted and notched decorations covering the entire surface of the vase) are related to the western Celtic Po Valley area. Some decorations, however, refer to the Veneto and the Magré culture areas.
Decorated vases have been found both in settlements and in tombs. The decorations appear mainly on small vases with drinking function. The decorated vessels can almost all be dated between LT C2 and LT D2. The most numerous attestations date to LT D1. This increase, which can also be found in the territory of the Insubri, could come from the desire to emphasize one’s cultural tradition in a phase in which Rome’s political and cultural presence was becoming increasingly felt.
