The workshop of M. Perennius at Arezzo (ancient Arretium) was amongst the largest and longest running of all the known producers of fine Roman red-ware pottery. A number of his freedmen are known from their stamped signatures, including Tigranus, Saturninus and Crescens. Bargathes, whose signature appears on the present vase, at first signed as the slave of Tigranus before signing, as here, in his own right. (See Oxé and Comfort, Corpvs Vasorvm Arretinorvm, A Catalogue of the Signatures, Shapes and Chronology of Italian Sigillata, 2nd edition, pp. 21 and 41, and p. 321 for Bargathes' stamps).
