Design E5
Antique amphorae were obtained by mass production on a large scale. They could be identified by their shapes. At a glance, a local shopkeeper of the Lingon people (area of Châtillon sur Seine) would have said what they contained and where they came from: Italian wine, Gallic wine, oil, Spanish fish sauce.
