Distinctive Features

The antecedent of the Dressel 20 but with an ovoid body, thinner handles and a fairly well developed spike. The rim is rounded, sometimes with an internal concavity (Berni, 1998).

Date Range

Augustan period. The earliest date is around: 15-9 BC (Aislingen, Oberaden). The precise point of transition to the Dressel 20 is difficult to discern, but the latter predominates from the AD 14 onwards according to the morphological study by Berni (1998) , see under 'Drawings' . Latest date is in the Tiberian period (Haltern, Köln, Trier)
Search: [1st century BC] [1st century AD]

Origin

As this form is related to Dressel 20 and is found in a closely similar fabric, it almost certainly originated along the Guadalquivir between Seville and Córdoba.

Commonly encountered in forts of the German limes such as Augst, Vindonissa, Oberaden, Haltern, Trier and Lorenzberg (Berni, 1998). Also found in pre-Roman contexts in Britain (Williams & Peacock, 1983) and at Rome.
