Abstract

Is it possible to identify amphora stamps from Sabratha and Oea amongst those recorded from Tripolitanian Type III amphorae of the early third century AD? Number 7 in the list given by Manacorda and Mattingly begins with the letters SAB, and could be identified with a member of the family recorded in IRT2. A more dubious possibility is no. 6. It is also suggested that stamps beginning with the letter O (nos 17 and 19) might be products of Oea.
