Dressel 43



Distinctive Features

This type can be mistaken for the Rhodian Type on account of its peaked handles, but tends to be smaller and thinner-walled. Moreover, it has a wider, more cylindrical body than the Rhodian type, sometimes with a slight extension towards the bottom. The handles rise to a peak well above the small collar-rim, and there is a slightly bulging neck and a small basal wart. The form comes in a smaller and larger version, both considerably smaller than the Rhodian type.

Contents

Cretan wine is mentioned on some tituli picti. This may be the local raisin wine praised by Pliny (Naturalis Historia XIV: 81). However, preserved fruit was also carried, as a titulus pictus from London mentions sorp apples (Williams, 2003).
