Abstract

Starting from the grieving female figure depicted on the well-known krater depicting the rape of Cassandra attributed to the Lycurgus Painter (ca. 355-345 BCE), which wears a characteristic, large circular earring of indigenous tradition, this article offers some reflections on depictions of women in the art from Peucetia, such as the ‘Ruvo dancers’ and the many women welcoming back victorious warriors, all pointing to a local prominence of women, which is also reflected in the composition of the grave goods from Monte Sannace and Bitonto. This impression is further supported by the excavation of the rich agricultural village of Jazzo Fornasiello (Gravina in Puglia, Bari), which offers interesting insights into the reconstruction of the functions and prerogatives of Peucetian women.
