Distinctive Features

This type has a flat-bottomed form with a body shaped very much like a "top". It has a high neck with a small everted rim, handles going from the top of the neck to the rounded shoulders (Panella, 1989).

The Formlimpopoli and Empoli amphorae are comparable types.

Date Range

From the Tiberian-Claudian period and the end of the second century AD (Panella, 1989: Martin, 1999; Rizzo 2003).
Search: [1st century AD] [2nd century AD]

Origin

The first production centre was found at Spello, Umbria, but the wide variety of fabrics suggest other centres throughout inland central Tyrrhenian Italy, focusing on the Tiber valley (Cherubini & Del Rio, 1997; Martin, 1999; Patterson et alii, 2005). More specifically, kilns have been found in the ager pisanus and northern part of the ager Volaterranus, across Etruria and in the Sabina.
