?:scopeNote	Traditionally (Grace, 1961) but perhaps erroneously (Bonifay, 2004), the term 'Spatheion' refers to a group of African amphorae with a long narrow body, long tapering spike and a fairly high neck with everted rim and two short handles applied to the neck. Keay notes that it is often difficult to distinguish between this type and his Keay 25.2 (1984: 212), except that the latter type is generally smaller. Keay divides his type 26 into variants A-M (because of differences in the rim form). Type G (Ostia 4, Fig. 570) seems to be the most common. Bonifay proposes to divide his type Spatheion 1into four groups A, B, C, D, corresponding to three different rim profiles: - A: rim with a very developed and strongly everted lip (up to 45°), similar to Keay 25.2, commonly found on the larger variety examples. - B: ring-like rim, with hanging lip (Keay 26G and Ostia 4, Fig. 570). - C: triangular in section with hanging lip. - D: simply thickened slightly everted rim.
