- Description
- Early Roman amphora related to Dressel 2-4 but with distinctive features. Apparently produced at multiple eastern Aegean workshops but chiefly(?) on Kos and distributed from Aegean to Italy and rarely central Europe. Tall, cylindrical body with short, solid toe, carinated to bell-shaped shoulder, tall cylindrical neck with plain, beaded rim, and tall, sharply peaked, bifid handles. Examples from dated contexts on Kos have fabric and date comparable to local Dressel 2-4.
