This type could easily be mistaken for the Dressel 6B (even the fabric is similar), though the rim is much less pronounced. The rim is thick and rounded, set on a cylindrical neck. The body gradually widens from the top downwards (bag shaped) before curving inwards and ending in a very short spike that is little more than a point. The handles are short and curved, attached on the shoulder and below the rim. The earliest subtype probably can be identified with an amphora discovered at Anemurium. It has a height of 94.2 cm, a maximum diameter of 33.5-34.5 cm, and a rim diameter of 13.0-13.5 cm (Hayes, 1991: 91, No.17, Pl. 24.1). In spite of these massive dimensions, the amphora has a slender, elegant profile. The next subtype occurs at Torone, its body being only half wheel-ridged, and dated perhaps around the middle or the second half of the fourth century (Papadopoulos, 1989: 98-100, Fig.17). The dimensions of this amphora are almost half of the earlier subtype, having a height of 58 cm, a maximum diameter of 27.8 cm, and a rim diameter of 7.8 cm. It is not impossible that this amphora was a reduced-sized version. A second subtype occurs in the fifth century.This has been discovered at Dinogetia amongst other places. It has a preserved height of 74 cm, a maximum diameter of 40 cm and a rim diameter of 13 cm; probably its body ends in a in the usual spike of this type.
