Distinctive Features

This form resembles the Italian Dressel 1B. It has a high vertical rim with a cylindrical neck, an ovoid body with a solid spike and rounded handles with a distinctive vertical groove. It is often stamped on the rim or the spike with two or three letters, sometimes more (Pascual, 1977; 1991; Comas, 1997).

Date Range

From the second half of the first century BC to AD 79 at Pompeii (Tchernia, 1971: 52-4) or Trajanic period (Ciotola et alii, 1989), although the majority of dateable finds from north-western Europe tend to be Augustan in date (Williams, 1981).

Origin

Kilns producing this form are known along the Catalan coastal zone of north-eastern Spain, particularly in the Barcelona region (Miró, 1988; Revilla, 1993; 1995). It has also been claimed that this form was made in Gaul at in a wide variety of sites such as Aspiran, Montans or Corneilhan (Laubenheimer, 1989; Meffre & Meffre, 1992).

Distribution

A fairly widespread distribution in the western Roman Empire, from Spain to France, Italy, Africa, Britain and Germany (Tchernia, 1986, Remesal Rodríguez and Revilla, 1991). The Narbonne-Bordeaux route seems to have been an important means of distribution to the north-west.
