Distinctive Features

This is a larger amphora than Beirut 1 and Beirut 2 (the early to mid first century AD variant), but not as large as early third century versions of the form (Beirut 4). It has a thin-walled and well ribbed tronco -conical body ending in a hollow cone toe. It has a band rim (top of neck folded over to form a band, so the lower line can be irregular) with handles similar to those of Beirut 1, but longer and generally pulled upwards, before bending inwards towards the base of the handle.
Minimum height:BEY 113.218/30/033 (Reynolds, 2000: Fig. 4.15). Early variant of this type? Late first/c. 100?: 76.8 cm.
Minimum width: BEY 113.218/30/033: 31.3 cm.
