Distinctive Features

This has a wide mouth normally with a single, sometimes a double rounded rim underneath which there is a deep groove. The handles are oval-shaped with a broad neck cylindrical body and solid spike. Panella (2002: 252, Nos. 9 and 10) distinguishes two subtypes, one slightly smaller and slimmer than the other with less arched handles and a junction between shoulder and body.

Date Range

The earliest date is no later than the last quarter of the first century BC (Van der Werff, 1986: 114; Hesnard, 1980: 150 and Note 100 (Longarina). The latest date is to the end of the first century AD.

Origin

Tituli picti suggest an origin in Italy, possibly in Campania or Lazio (Zevi, 1966; Panella, 2002), a conclusion borne out by petrological analysis (see below), while it has also been suggested that the form may also have been produced along the Adriatic coast and in Bruttium(Panella, forthcoming). The form also seems to have been copied on a small scale in Baetica (Sotomayor, 1969; Étienne & Mayet, 1994; Mayet, 1999), and in Tarraconensis (Beltrán Lloris, 2000: 450).

Distribution

Central Italian production seems to have been distributed within Tyrrhenian Italy and in north Africa (Carthage), while that in the Adriatic is distributed to Sicily and the eastern Mediterranean (Panella & Moizio, forthcoming).

Contents

Tituli picti from Pompeii suggest that amongst other commodities, this amphora type may have carried fruit: apples, cherries from Cuma and honey (Callender, 1965; Zevi, 1966; Panella, 2002). It has been suggested that the southern Spanish version may have carried garum (Etienne & Mayet, 1994).
