Stamped Amphora Handle

Amphora · 2nd century CE
This stamp, of the F(iglina), or possibly F(undus) of a certain Alb. Lic. (whose name cannot be completed), is dated to the second century CE on the basis of the position of another example found in Monte Testaccio in Rome. Another example of the stamp is known on a globular vessel in Arbon, Switzerland; that particular type of amphora suggests that the origin of the stamp, and therefore the location of the property of Alb. Lic., was in southern Spain, in the ancient province of Baetica.
