Abstract

Abstract This paper examines the distinctive distribution patterns of Amphore Crétoise (AC) 4 amphoras within Roman trade networks through critical assessment of the morphological attributes of this amphora type compared to AC1–3 jars and through consideration of the mechanisms that underlie these patterns. This builds on a growing number of studies that have focused on the design attributes of amphoras as important factors tied to their economic role. It also demonstrates the importance of engaging in more nuanced and detailed investigations that question assumptions about amphora distribution within the Roman world. The AC4 is the primary, and often only, Cretan type found at sites in Rome's northwestern provinces and along the Danube frontier. A narrower profile and smaller capacity appear to have made this amphora type more attractive than other Cretan forms for transport along river and overland routes.
形状和大小重要吗?公元1 - 3世纪,圆形容器的分布
摘要:本文通过与AC - 3罐相比,对这种双耳罐类型的形态属性进行批判性评估,并通过考虑这些模式背后的机制,研究了罗马贸易网络中Amphore cr toise (AC) 4双耳罐的独特分布模式。这建立在越来越多的研究的基础上,这些研究将双耳罐的设计属性作为与其经济作用相关的重要因素。这也证明了进行更细致和详细的调查的重要性,这些调查质疑了关于双耳罐在罗马世界分布的假设。AC4是在罗马西北部省份和多瑙河沿岸发现的主要的,也是通常唯一的克里特类型。较窄的轮廓和较小的容量似乎使这种双耳罐比其他克里特岛形式更适合沿河和陆路运输。
