In this article part of a red-figure plate, found in the fill of the road west of the “Enimerosis” block of the area of the new entrance of the archaeological site of Pella, is presented. Plates with a rolled rim, such as the one found in Pella, are rarely decorated with red-figure scenes, and are usually black-glazed. On the tondo a nude female figure holding a flower is depicted, along with a Satyr who is harassing her. Usually, female figures with Satyrs in similar scenes are identified with Maenads, however, the nudity of the figure, the flower she is holding and the lack of a thyrsus, animal skin or musical instrument allude to a Nymph or even Aphrodite. Similar iconographic scenes are common in 4th century cups. The vase cannot be attributed to a specific vase-painter, although certain traits can be compared with the style of the Jena and Diomedes Painters. Comparison with the work of the vase-painters mentioned above allows the dating of the vessel around 400-390 BC. The plate under examination is one among the many red-figure vases that arrived in the Pella from Attica.

In this paper we present a general software quality model, providing the possibility to describe different concepts related to quality. We show that our quality model is able to integrate the various concepts found in quality standards and different quality models. Furthermore, we provide different quality views related to software quality, enabling consistency and continuity of quality-related information. The most influential factor for the developers of software is the customer perception. We connect the developer with the customer to derive a common interpretation for quality. This paper introduces a model for software quality by connecting and integrating the different views of software quality. In addition, it connects the customer view with the developer view of software quality and it treats software as a product
