A Hellenistic amphora handle inscription
A Hellenistic fragmentary amphora handle with rectangular stamp bearing the inscription EΠI APIΣTOMAXOY / AΓ…OY. Excavated in Israel.
4th-2nd century BC.
Length 10.5 cms (4.1 ins)
Provenance: Ex Dr. Richard Jaffe, coll., Jerusalem, with Israeli export licence.
To the archaeologist amphora stamps are clearly important for establishing chronologies: they are very widespread, are much less subject to damage than coins, and, following more than a century of research, some of them can be dated to the year, even down to the month. They can offer particularly useful clues for economic history and the study of commercial exchanges.
Three elements appear regularly in the legends of the stamps, in full or in abbreviated form: Firstly, the name of a magistrate whose purpose was to date the amphora he could be either the city’s eponymous magistrate or a subordinate official.
Secondly, the name of someone conventionally described as the “fabricant” (manufacturer), who played a part in the production of the amphora, but whose precise function is not easy to determine. Thirdly, an ethnic indicating the place of production.
All our items are supplied with an illustrated certificate of authenticity (COA) which will act as as a guarantee that all items are authentic and dated to the period stated.
All our items include shipping to mainland UK.
Buyers outside the UK and non-mainland UK need to email us for postage costs before buying. Overseas buyers need to check that the item they intend buying can be imported into their country and will be responsible for paying any customs and/or tax charges.
Payment is can be made either through clicking on the Buy Securely icon, or alternatively via a bank transfer (in which case we can pass on the resulting saving of Paypal fees). We are not able to process debit/credit card payments over the phone.
