Ancient Roman Crafts

In the second millennium BC, the Romans emerged from a small settlement near Rome to begin a course of expansion that was to make them the dominant power in the Mediterranean. By the 1st Century AD, Roman territories expanded from Britain in the north to Egypt in the south. Much of the Roman culture and crafts reflected the preceding Hellenistic period; however, their extensive trade network provided them with a great variety of materials. Artisans often combined styles and materials creating their own unique designs. Terracotta (baked clay) pottery was made and used throughout the middle east and was produced in the earliest settlements along the Fertile Crescent where the clay was abundant and varied in color. The early potters had ample resources with which to experiment, create and develop their styles. The pottery was made as a fairly course, porous clay that when fired, assumes a color ranging from dull ochre to red and was usually left unglazed. Most terracotta pottery has been utilitarian because of its cheapness, versatility and durability. As technique and firing methods improved, a great variety of shapes evolved. The most widely utilized pottery in the Ancient World was Oil Lamp, bottles, unguentariums, pitchers, bowls and plates, their basic shapes remaining unchanged for over a thousand years and still being used in today’s modern world. The oil lamp was the source of light in every household, the bottles and pitchers were used to store wine, water and other liquids, the unguentarium held oils, spices, unguents and balm and the bowls and plates were used to eat from and hold food stuffs. The amphora, classic in shape, was used for storage and shipping in the ancient world and was meant for household use and to hold wine, oil, spice or unguents.

The Bronze Age is not a particular period of time. Some areas had their Bronze Age early, other had it late and still others skipped the Bronze Age altogether. The primary function of any metal industry in antiquity was the production of weapons and tools. A spear point, also known as spearhead, was ranked as the chief weapon used in the battle of ancient Asia and Europe. The famous Greek poet, Homer, tells how Achilles speared Hector through the neck wit a pole heavy with bronze. Spear points have played an important part in history and have changed as men have learned to make them of new material. Although metals made the best spear points of all, early men tied jagged pieces of stone onto their throwing sticks until they learned to shape pointed spearheads from pieces of flint. In the 2nd millennium BC, the Romans emerged from a small settlement near Rome to begin a course of expansion that was to make them the dominant power in the Mediterranean. By the 1st Century AD, Roman territories expanded from Britain in the north to Egypt in the south. The Roman army was originally made up of citizens whose duty it was to serve in time of war. By Caesar’s time, in the 40′s BC, most soldiers were professionals in a standing army, forming a civilizing force as well as a conquering one.

How to sell my pottery? Do I need a business name? Any information PLEASE??

I "m wanting to sell my pottery the side. I do not really want to do the shipping (but I) But I'm more curious about the sale at any of the craft fairs or through a website (prefer not to use eBay). Questions: – Do I need a legal business name – and where can I go to get this (how long does it run normally?) – Anyone familiar with the presentation booth at the fair? They say they want a photo of the presentation stand – What's this? – Do you know you from any website that explains how to create a website to sell stuff? Professional, but on the budget? – Where can I get a list of art exhibition happening around my area (Georgia) – would be the House of each county? Any help would be great. I am a single mom in college with a full-time job. I have Very Unique, functional pottery that sold surprisingly well (I was with a ceramics business for a while) and I need to start a small – in equipment business from home for a little extra money. Just need to know what I have to start. TY!

is going to cost something to sell, no matter what you do well that the fastest way to go without money in front of you is find a place that will take any of your items wholesale or on consignment
