  • This is one of the more important amphora types of the Roman Republican period. In general it has a triangular-rim, cylindrical neck and sharply carinated shoulder. The ovoid handles are attached below the rim and on to the shoulders. Examples are sometimes stamped on the handle in Greek and Latin characters and symbols (Vandermersch 1994: 159-84). The body is commonly pear-shaped and has a short solid spike. It should be noted that the Dressel 1A also has a similar triangular-shaped rim, and identification between the two can be difficult on the basis of small fragments. In a pioneering work, Will (1982) distinguished five forms, 1A-1E that ran in a roughly chronological sequence. Although her typological groupings have been largely retained (except with the suppression of her form 1B), more recent work has changed the chronology and suggested origins of the form (particularly Tchernia 1986; Empereur & Hesnard 1987; Manacorda 1989; Vandermersch 1994). The typological sequence now runs as follows: 1A1, 1D, 1C and 1E: her type 1B is now understood to have been a transitional form 1D. (en)
