  • Tripolitanian amphorae were first identified by Zevi (Zevi & Tchernia, 1969) but the typological differentiation is due to Panella (1973). Tripolitanian 3 has an everted collar rim, less massive than the Tripolitanian 1. The short and conical neck is unified with the body following a continuous line (no angle as with with the Tripolitania 1). The body is long and cylindrical, with a curved base and characteristic conical foot, with a plug of clay inserted inside the spike. The ear-shaped handles are set below the rim (often attached on the lower part of it) and just below the neck on the shoulder. Keay (1984) divides this class into three sub-types, A-C, based on variations in the rim: sub-type A has a rim 'a doppio gradino' (double-stepped flange) with a pronounced lower step; sub-type B has a pronounced everted rim; type C was also 'a doppio gradino', but with an underdeveloped upper step. Bonifay (2004) notes a late variant with a hyper developed upper step ('cap-like' profile). Tripolitanian 3 amphorae are frequently stamped on the rim; stamps on handles are less frequent and rare on the neck. Tripolitanian stamps are mostly composed of three letters in relief in a cartouche, probably referring to a tria nomina. These initials are sometimes followed by the letters C(larissimus) V(ir), denoting the senatorial title, or P(raefectus) P(raetorio). Stamps which mention AVG probably refer to imperial properties (Manacorda, 1983). (en)
