Eastern sigillata D explained

Eastern sigillata D (ESD, also known by the regional designation Cypriot sigillata) is a Roman-period tableware, or terra sigillata, produced in Cyprus. The term 'ESD' was coined by R. Rosenthal in 1978^[1] as an extension of the nomenclature established by Kathleen Kenyon at Samaria.^[2]
