Dressel 30 - Tunisian Variants



Distinctive Features

African imitations of the Gauloise 4 type were produced not only in the Tubusctu region of Mauretania Caesariensis ( Dressel 30 / Keay 1A) but also in various regions of Africa Proconsularis. One such group is well identified in the territory of Neapolis/Nabeul, and is characterised by a "a ring-like rim" with a moulded outer face, a constricted and elongated neck and wide, flat handles with three longitudinal grooves (Bonifay, 2004). Other productions sites are attested to in the north of the Cap Bon and at Salakta (Bonifay, 2004).
