Date Range

Present at Pompeii but generally found at Beirut in contexts dating to the first half of the second century AD (Empereur & Picon, 1989; Reynolds, 2005a).
Search: [1st century AD] [2nd century AD]

Origin

Produced is attested to in eastern Cilicia, but the wide range of fabrics associated with this type suggests other sources (Reynolds, 2005a), perhaps north-western Syria (Butcher, 2003). Known to have been made at the kiln site at Yamurtalik, which at a later date made Late Roman 1 amphorae (Reynolds, 2005a).

Distribution

Commonly found at Alexandria (Empereur, 1998), Beirut and Cyprus (Reynolds, 2005a) and present in small amounts at Pompeii and Athens (Empereur & Picon, 1989).
