- Description
- Late Republican to Early Roman amphora for olive oil. Production in eastern coastal Italy during early phase, but expanding into northern Italy and Istria over time. Parallel to Lamboglia 2 (q.v.) but displaying wide morphological variation. Ovoid, sagging to piriform body with solid spike toe, tall cylindrical neck, heavy collared rim, and tall vertical handles with circular to oval section. Pale orange to buff fabric, somewhat soft and smooth, with uncommon iron and sometimes limestone and quartzite. Variations in overall shape and rim over time distinguish sybtypes (A and B). Distributed chiefly in Italy to the Balkans and Aegean region.
