  • This type of amphora is known as the Agora G199 (Robinson, 1959: 43 Pl. 8); Mau 27/28; Ostia forma 631 (Panella, 1973: 474-6 Fig. 34); Zemer no. 41 (1978: 52); Mid Roman Amphora 4 (Riley, 1979: 186-7); Nea Paphos Type 3 (Hayes, 1991: 91-92); Pinched-handle amphora (Leonard, 1995: 144-5); Dyczek, 2001: 160-3 Type 22. It is named after its distinctive short and right-angled handles, which are grooved and pinched from the sides. At first the vertical handle bar is longer than the horizontal one - later specimens are similar in length horizontally and vertically. The body is short and cylindrical with a distinctive elongated toe, sometimes with a 'mushroom' cap. The neck is short and cylindrical, and the rim gently everted. Early versions have a longer neck and longer handles, while later types have shorter necks and handles. The later types also seem to lose the distinctive mushroom-cap at the base. The relationship of this classical type to the version current in the late third and fourth centuries AD (as Robinson, 1959: 75 no. L11 Pl. 16; 106 no. M239 Pl. 28) needs to be clarified (cf. Slane, 2004: 36); according to Hayes (1991: 91) the latter amphorae 'clearly emanate from a different source'. (en)
