Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of papers, edited by Friedrich Krinzinger, is the result of collaborative research on Roman ceramics from Vindobona, Roman-era Vienna. The main body of the report has been contributed by Tamas Bezeczky: a detailed catalogue of the wide range of transportation amphora types found during excavations in Vienna, a classification of the various forms, their known or assumed sources of production, a listing of amphorae contents, dating span, distribution, and a discussion of the regional significance of the inventory. A comprehensive petrologic examination has been made on many of the amphorae by Roman Sauer, which not only identifies the materials to ease future identification, but in some cases throws new light on possible amphorae production areas.
