?:scopeNote
  • This is a fairly large cylindrical amphora ('Africano grande' type of Zevi & Tchernia, 1969). The rim is tall with a convex external face and a quite flat internal face. The gently curved conical neck is tall, and the shoulder quite wide. Handles are ear shaped in profile and oval in section. The body is broad, with its lower section tapering to a narrow base terminating in an elongated solid spike, with a widened, gently pointed, bottom ('baluster' shaped). The neck is occasionally stamped with incised letters in an incised frame on two lines. The first of these is invariably composed of the three letters C.I.N (separated by dots), which can be expanded to read C(olonia) I(ulia) N(eapolis) (Panella, 1973), while the second consists of an abbreviated name consisting of two or three letters. Late variants (Bonifay, 2004, variants C2-3) have a taller and narrower rim, sometimes facetted on the external face, a more elongated neck and a narrower body similar to the Africana 3 (=Keay 25) amphorae. These late variants occasionally bear anepigraphic stamps (circles or half-circles) on the neck. (en)
