Includes bibliographical references.

Description based on print version record.

Based on the proceedings of a workshop held at Seville University in 2015, this book looks at several series of amphorae created in the Late Republican Roman period, sharing a generally ovoid shape in their bodies - a group of material which, until now, has rarely been studied.
