Amphora

An amphora is a two-handled Greek vase, generally with a swollen belly, narrow neck, and a large mouth. In antiquity, an amphora was often used to transport wine or oil. Some amphorae have pointy bottoms. Recent DNA analysis has been performed on shipwrecked amphoras. One contained olive oil and oregano.

Kylix Vases

This monumental Kylix Vases from the Borghese collection is evidence of the flourishing art market that arose from the Roman taste for lavish garden decorations in the late Hellenistic period.
