Distinctive FeaturesLamboglia 2 and Dressel 6A are typologically very similar, both sharing a thick-walled bag-shaped body, and in some cases also share a common fabric (Riley, 1979). The forms of the Lamboglia 2 amphorae exhibit a wide variety. This vessel has a thickened rim with a slight overhang, triangular to squarish in profile, and a high cylindrical neck with thick oval handles. It has a fairly thick-walled bag-shaped body which has a pronounced carination on the shoulder and a short pointed spike. It is sometimes stamped on the rim and the handle.See characteristics | ||
Date RangeFrom the second to around the last third of the first centuries BC. It probably coincided with the appearance of Dressel 6A amphora (Beltrán, 1970; Panella, 1970; Carre, 1985; Tchernia, 1986).Search: [2nd century BC] [1st century BC] [1st century AD] | ||
OriginThis form is generally considered to come from Adriatic cost (Panella, 1970; 1998; Cipriano & Carre, 1989; Palazzo, 1989, Cipriano, 1994; Bruno, 1995).Search: [Italy] [The Balkans] | ||
DistributionThere is a wide distribution throughout the western Mediterranean (Tchernia, 1969; Beltrán Lloris, 1970; Carre, 1985; Van der Werff, 1986), which also reaches Lusitania (Fabião, pers.comm.), the Aegean (Grace, 1961: Fig. 36 far right; Cipriano & Carre 1989; Bruno, 1995; Lund, 2000; Bezeczky, 2001; 2004) and Carthage (Cintas, 1950: Type 321).Search: [Black Sea] [Greece] [Libya] [North Africa] [Portugal] [Spain] [The Aegean] [Western Mediterranean] | ||
ContentsOlive-oil has been suggested (Lamboglia, 1952; Panella, 1970; Buchi, 1971), although analysis of the contents of vessels from the Madrague de Giens shipwreck suggests that wine was carried (Formenti et alii, 1978).Search: [Olive Oil] [Wine] | ||
