Dressel 1B similis - Lyon



Distinctive Features

This is a generally similar type to the more common Italian Dressel 1B, with a thick, near vertical collar-rim, a long heavy cylindrical body, long oval-shaped rod-like handles and a solid spike. However, there are some differences in the Lyon copies. The outer profile of the rim tends to be straighter and the interior rim is slightly different also, while the handle has two grooves (Jacquin et alii, 1993).

Distribution

Very common in the western Roman empire (Peacock, 1971; Panella, 1973; Ettlinger, 1977; Deniaux, 1980; Galliou, 1984), and it is clear that this form also reached the eastern Mediterranean region in some quantity (Riley, 1979).
