Campanian ware

A type of pottery produced from the 4th century through to the 1st century bc at three main centres in southern Italy: two near Capua and one at Cumae. After the 1st century bc its popularity was eclipsed by Arretine ware. Campanian ware was traded widely in the central Mediterranean and is sometimes found in Gaul from the 3rd century bc; very occasional finds have been reported from Silchester, Hampshire, and Ower, Dorset, in southern England.
