?:scopeNote
  • These are a range of small amphorae, little more than jars. They have narrow necks with carinated shoulders and rounded handles joining at the shoulder and halfway up the neck or higher, sometimes with shallow, vertical fluting and a squat body with a flat, ring base. Two rim forms have been noted and the base for Type A is slightly wider than for Type B (Ostia 3. 464 and Ostia 1. 453-4, see Panella, 1973). The first is distinctly biconical and is commonest in the western Mediterranean from the second half of the second to the fourth centuries AD. There is evidence to suggest that the rim is less sharp in profile in the fourth century than is the case in the second and third centuries (Riley, 1979). The second rim form (B) is thickened and slightly inturned at the top, occurring from the first to the third centuries AD (Panella, 1973; Riley, 1979). (en)
