Distinctive Features

An early African amphora, firstly noted by Hayes at Carthage (1976). Martin-Kilcher has demonstrated that this type represents the "Romanization" of the Punic type Cintas 312/Maña C2/Van der Werff 1 with handles attached on the shoulder (1999). During the middle of the first century AD, the handles migrated towards the neck, reproducing the model of the Graeco-Roman amphorae. Like its Punic and neo-Punic forerunners, this type is characterised by a widely everted rim with a horizontal lip moulded on the underside. Stretched handles are attached to the elongated cylindrical neck. The body is tall and quite perfectly cylindrical, terminating by a long and tubular hollow foot.
