B4 amphoras
A small slender amphora with rounded shoulder, narrow neck, beaded
lip and either one or two tight strap handles in a distinctive
red-brown micaceous fabric. This is a long-lived type,
produced in western Asia Minor from the 1st to 6th centuries AD, with a
wide distribution around the Mediterranean and across the northern
provinces.
