?:scopeNote
  • This represents the final phase of Beirut amphora production. Unlike the output of the first century BC to early/mid fifth century AD (Beirut 1 to 7), the Beirut 8 is free-standing and rests on a small domed base. Nevertheless it shares the same style of tronco-conical body as other Beirut amphorae. The handles also differ in that they are placed low on the neck and are more strap-shaped (though with the typical triple-banded section). The earliest version, Beirut 8.1, has a wide, folded, band rim and fairly wide domed base (mid fifth century AD to c. AD 551, typical of Beirut earthquake deposits). Perhaps from c. AD 575 till c. AD 640/650, the amphora is smaller, with a simple ribbed neck and plain, rounded rim (not a band). The latest bases are quite small and are well-domed. Minimum height: Beirut 8.1/2: 55.9 cm (AD 551?); Beirut 8.2, (mid seventh century AD): 58 cm. Minimum width: Beirut 8.1/2, 20 cm.; Beirut 8.2, 16 cm. (en)
