Stamped Amphora Handle

Stamped Amphora Handle

Roman

The stamp was poorly impressed on this handle, and the resulting impression preserves a few letters but with no indication of the borders of the stamp. Nevertheless, enough survives to show that the stamp belonged to one of the Minicii, who produced amphorae at ancient Arva (mod. Pena de la Sal) in southern Spain.

Terracotta

Roman Imperial period, Middle
