The Naples Museum contains a collection
of something over four thousand vases,
found in ancient tombs in the neighbour-
hood of the Old Greek colonies, and
dating from the period when this part of
Italy was called “ Magna Grecia.” Some
of these vases were brought from Greece,
but by far the greater number were
made in Italy several centuries before the
destruction of Pompeii. They are divisible
into five great periods, namely, the Ar-
chaic, the Panathenaic, the Grand, the
Transition, and the Decadence, and they
date over the four hundred years from b.c.
600 to B.c. 200. It is desirable to remark
