Distinctive Features

The top half of this type appears to be exactly the same as a normal Dr. 2-4 type, with simple bead rim, long neck and bifid handles. However, the body is much shorter, is ovoid in shape with widening shoulders and ends in a flat base rather that a spike (Panella & Fano, 1977). It may be copying the flat based amphorae from Gaul (Panella, 2002).

Origin

Search: [Italy] [North West Europe]

Distribution

The only complete examples seen by this contributor (DFW) comes from Pompeii. However, given that the top half is exactly the same as the normal Pompeian Dr. 2-4 form, breakages could made this harder to recognise, meaning that its distribution could be much wider than is currently apparent.
