摘要

This paper presents Greek style gold jewellery, which were found as burial offerings in the Greek colonies of the Southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily and the North Black Sea, focusing on head jewellery such as diadems, headdresses, and earrings, dated from the Archaic to the Classical period (sixth to fourth century BC). The aim is to demonstrate the iconographic and stylistic similarities and differences between artefacts of these regions and similar pieces unearthed in their Greek Metropolises by addressing topics of Greek craftsmanship and gold workshops, Greek fashion and jewellery, its adoption and social status of its owners, Greek vs local identities in colonial and indigenous cities, and what Greek and local jewellery fashions say about Mediterranean and Pontic trade.
