Distinctive Features

This is a cylindrical amphora with long bifid handles (composed of two rods), with small beaded lip and distinct carinated shoulder (Miró, 1988). Occasionally stamped near the spike, only a few examples include painted inscriptions (Pascual, 1991; Comas, 1997). The form is derived from a prototype produced in the eastern Mediterranean, and later copied in the western provinces.

Origin

Produced in the coastal workshops of Hispania Tarraconensis (NE Spain) from Tarragona to Girona (Revilla, 1995). This amphora type was widely produced in more than 60 workshops from Aumedina in the Ebro valley (Revilla, 1993) to Llafranc in the modern province of Girona. However, most workshops were concentrated around the Roman cities of Barcino, Baetulo and Iluro (Revilla, 1995)

This type was widely distributed in the main western provinces (Hispaniae, Gallia, Germania, Rhaetia, Italia and Africa Proconsularis). Major markets were the city of Rome and the German limes in the Augustan period (Remesal Rodríguez and Revilla 1991).
