Camulodunum-184 Amphora

Amphora for the transport of wine produced in the Aegean/Rhodes area in the I century AD.

The Camulodunum 184 (also classified as Peacock & Williams Class 9) is a highly recognizable type of Roman amphora primarily used to transport Rhodian wine across the Roman Empire.

Key Characteristics & Profile
• Origin: Produced on the Island of Rhodes and adjacent parts of coastal Asia Minor (Caria).
• Chronology: Active from the late 1st century BC to the late 2nd century AD, peaking during the early Roman Imperial and pre-Flavian periods.
• Morphology: Features a long tapering body terminating in a solid spike, a cylindrical neck, a small beaded rim, and distinctive peaked or single-rod handles with a circular cross-section.
• Dimensions & Capacity: Typically stands around 96–97 cm high with a capacity of 20–25 liters.
• Primary Cargo: Famous for carrying Rhodian wine, though it was occasionally utilized for luxury goods like figs and honey.

Distribution and Significance
Because of its slender, narrower profile, the Camulodunum 184 was highly stackable and stable, making it exceptionally well-suited for both maritime shipping and inland river-barge trade networks. It is widely distributed across the Mediterranean and stands as the most common Eastern Mediterranean amphora type found in Rome's northwest provinces, including prominent military sites in Britain and Germany.

The object is made of quad polygons only with unwrapped and non-overlapping UV.
Two different sets of textures are included (color, ambient occlusion, roughness, specular, normal and bump) to get the same amphora with two different materials.
