Description: | A handle from a Roman Amphora. The rest of the vessel is missing. The large handle is constructed from a sandy fabric with gritty inclusions. There is a stamp at the top left of the handle, much of which is illegible. However, the letters ...IMI ...IO in two lines are just visible. The chunky nature of the handle, together with its dramatic curve suggests that it may be a Dressel 20 type, and if so it would date from around 50 to 250 AD. Such vessels were often used to transport olive oil and were often stamped with the name of the owner of the estate who produced such oil.
