Type 40-3
Beltran 1 (Dressel 9)
(Augst 24)
Form: The type is characterised by a wide, everted rim, a short, cylindrical neck and an
oval body. Flat short handles join the neck and the shoulder. The long hollow base ends in a
flat bottom. There are very few amphorae of this type in Ephesus.
Chronology. There is a difference of opinion concerning the inception date of production.
The Augst excavation data suggest that the production started in the first century B.C. Other
sets of data suggest the first amphorae were manufactured starting at the turn of the first
century A.D. to the Flavian period545.
