The AMPHORAS Project
The AMPHORAS Project
This site contains information on plain, unglazed, ceramic storage containers, with two handles, mostly pointed at the bottom, used to carry wine, oil, fish, and other commodities around the ancient Mediterranean. AMPHORAS is making available part of the archive collected by Virginia R. Grace at the excavations of the Agora at Athens, as well as some additional materials. Included are:
- a bibliography of scholarly work on finding, identifying, and studying Greek and Roman amphoras and the trade they carried
- passages in ancient Greek literature on the use of amphoras (quoted in English).
- translations into English of works (or parts of works) published in Russian on amphoras
- links to other Web sites with amphora information and/or images (excavations, wrecks, etc) and other sources of bibliography
- searches of the bibliography files and the text of other files. Use '@' for and, '.' for any letter (wr.ck@mahdia): see Notes on searching.

Roman Amphorae: a digital resource
[First posted in AWOL 27 November 2012, updated 6 July 2015]
Roman Amphorae: a digital resource
Roman Amphorae: a digital resource
University of Southampton, 2005
(updated 2014)
The aim of this website is to provide an online introductory resource for the study of Roman amphorae. In the Roman empire amphorae were pottery containers used for the non-local transport of agricultural products. Their fragments litter archaeological sites of all kinds on land and at sea and have been a subject of serious study for over 100 years. They are crucially important to archaeologists in providing direct evidence for inter-regional and long-distance movement of agricultural products within the empire, and have been an important source of data in the increasingly sophisticated debates about the scale and structure of the Roman economy over the last thirty years. While the study of amphorae also encompasses the stamps, painted inscriptions (tituli picti) and production sites, this website concentrates upon the containers alone.
- Aims of the website
- The Significance of Roman Amphorae
- The Development of Amphora Studies
- Development of the Roman amphora tradition
- Amphorae and Trade within the Roman empire
- Amphorae and Trade beyond the Roman empire
- Characterization of amphorae
