Summary
This study makes reference to ca. sixty-five different amphora classes or class groupings, and recalling the basic information regarding each of these no doubt represents a challenge for readers not specialized in amphora studies. In the interest of facilitating the use of this book, this Appendix presents two tables that summarize some of this information in convenient form. The first indicates the provenience, date range, and principal content as these are generally understood for each of the classes mentioned in the text. It also provides the page numbers for the entry for each of these classes in D. Peacock and D. Williams' Amphorae and the Roman Economy (Peacock and Williams 1986), the most widely used English-language guide to Roman amphorae or, in cases where this work does not contain an entry for the class in question, the reference for a description of that class appearing either in another of the general guides to Roman amphorae or elsewhere in the literature. Readers should note that the names employed for many of the classes vary among specialists, as do views regarding the date range, principal content, and provenience of certain classes. The second table is a concordance between the various forms in the Schöne–Mau classificatory scheme for amphorae from the Vesuvian sites that are mentioned in the text and the more generally accepted names of the classes to which these can be equated.
