?:scopeNote	Classed as 'contenitori cilindrici della tarda eta imperiale' (cylindrical containers of the late Imperial period: Manacorda, 1977a: 171ff.), these fall typologically between the amphorae of the Africana Grande series and the larger cylindrical African amphorae of the later fifth/sixth centuries. Keay distinguishes 30 variations (for full details see Keay, 1984: 184-212), but gathers together the most common ones (variants A-V) in three main sub-types. The first sub-type is characterised by a band-shaped rim with a near vertical or gently everted (30°) external face, with the top always marked by a slight external step (the so-called 'orlo a becco'). The neck is cone-shaped and the handles, attached directly on the latter, have a tall 'ear-shaped' profile and elliptical section. The body is cylindrical and narrow, the lower section tapered to a tight base terminated by an elongated cylindrical spike with a central swelling. Anepigraphic stamps are sometimes attested on the neck (circles, half circles, dotted circles). Epigraphic stamps are very rare : in some cases three incised letters (possible tria nomina ?) on the neck. (en)
