For a full discussion of the series of Punic War dishes produced at Urbino, see Rudolf E.A. Drey, 'Istoriato Maiolica with scenes from the second Punic War. Livy's history fo Rome as source material', Italian Renaissance Pottery, ed. Timothy Wilson, pp. 51-61. The present example would appear to be very closely connected with the Scipio series and bears the latest date

For other dishes by this hand see Wendy M. Watson, Italian Renaissance Maiolica from the William A. Clark Collection, pp. 166-169, nos. 66 and 67 where she notes that John Mallet is compiling information on the dishes from the early part of the artist's career to which this dish most probably belongs
