Leptiminus 2



Distinctive Features

This is an amphora in the Punic tradition, first noted and described by Opaiţ at Leptiminus in the following way: "This type was made in two variants, a smaller and a larger one, both having the same rim with a convex profile on the outer side; a sharp groove at the middle of the lip delineates a small retreat of its lower part. The amphora has a short neck, a well rounded shoulder, two small, rounded handles placed under it, and ends in a hollow conical spike" (Opaiţ, 2000).
