Hicham Aboutaam, co-proprietor of Phoenix Ancient Art, sells antiques from a variety of different historical time periods. One of these is South Italian, also known as Italiote. Pieces during this time frame were made in Magna Graecia (the coastal regions around Southern Italy on the Tarentine Gulf, colonized exclusively by Greek settlers). The time frame was the 4th century BC. In terms of artistic themes throughout this period, it was the red figure pottery that it was most famous for, which has a very unique and easily distinguishable style. The five regions that crafted Southern Italian art were: Apulia, Campania, Lucania, Paestum, and Sicily.
