Stamp:
There are three different types of stamps on the amphorae in Ephesus.
no. 301 - POST.CVRT (S-T and V-R-T in ligature).
The stamp of Gaius Curtius Postumus, [Post](umii)
Curt(ii)
no. 308 - [PO]S[T].CVRT (S-T and V-R-T in liga-
ture)
In an earlier publication of the Latin stamp (POST.CVRT) I could not identify the type of the rim451. Two
larger fragments (nos. 307 and 315) among the vessels which I came across later helped identify that they
belonged to the Dressel 21-22 type amphorae452. There is a similar stamped rim in Jerusalem. The rim is at-
tached to a handle fragment. With help from D. Ariel, we decided that it belonged to a Dressel 21-22 type453.
The handle fragment in the Museum of Syracuse also proved helpful454. This is a fragment characteristic of the
Dressel 21-22 type. It has the stamp POST.CVRT (S-T and R-T in ligature). It seems possible that the handle
fragment published by D. Manacorda belongs to this type as well455. See the details Appendix I.
Other stamps
no. 311 - G or a symbol, occurs on the upper part of a
handle fragment.
no. 318
no. 320
nos. 318 and 319 and 320 - Anchor or symbol(?). Three amphorae have the same stamp. One of them is
complete, the others are fragments.
Origin'. It was suggested earlier that Dressel 21-22 were made in Campania and Lazio. This was confirmed
by the petrological analyses of Peacock - Williams456 457. The finds of the d’Alcamo Marina (province de Trapani)
workshop suggest that the form was also produced in Sicily. A number of pieces have been found in the
northwestern part of the island437. The petrological analysis of the amphorae and the stamped tiles confirm that
some of them were manufactured in Campania and also Calabria and Sicily458. The stamps and the fabrics of
