Distinctive Features

The Lamboglia 2 amphorae were replaced by the Dressel 6A whose form they closely resemble. Very often these Dressel 6A amphorae were produced in Lamboglia 2 workshops, and it is often difficult to distinguish the two types from each other when fragmentary. The forms of the amphorae in this group also exhibit a wide variety. The handles are round in section rather than oval and the neck is longer and more slender in relation to the body. Sometimes they are stamped on the rim and the neck.

Contents

Tituli picti mention wine and garum (Baldacci, 1969; Buchi, 1971, Piccottini, 1997), but it has long been thought that this form carried olive oil from Istria (Degrassi, 1962; Zevi, 1966; Will, 1996).
