See characteristics

Date Range

Earliest date: Augustan-Tiberian period at Astorga (Carreras Monfort & Berni, 2003)
Latest date: late first and early second centuries AD.
Search: [1st century AD] [2nd century AD]

Origin

This type was produced in the Guadalquivir valley of southern Spain, since it shares the same fabric as other Baetican amphorae such as the Dressel 20. Only one workshop has been identified at Posadas (Seville), with a stamped bifid handle which is identical to that of a well-known Dressel 20 stamp. This type was also produced in the coastal areas of Baetica with a different fabric in places such as Lomba de Ceres (Granada), El Rinconcillo or Guadarranque (Cádiz)

Distribution

It is supposed to have a widespread distribution in the western provinces but in small numbers. However only a few reports, such as those of Colchester (Williams, 1985) and Astorga (Carreras Monfort & Berni, 2003), refer to a Dressel 2-4 with Guadalquivir valley fabric.
