Stamped Amphora Handle

Amphora · 160-230 CE
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.
