NIKANDROS GROUP: MATRIX STUDIES ON THE AMPHORA STAMPS OF THE GROUP

Abstract

Amphoras of Nikandros Group, classified among the amphora stamps found in the excavations on Delos by V. Grace and thus called after the frequent attestation of the name, are suggested to have been produced in Western Anatolia, around Ephesos and Metropolis. They were supposedly produced for the transportation of wine intended for local consumption in the 2nd quarter of the 2nd century BC, and 2nd half of the 2nd century BC. Though of limited quantity, their existence in the Eastern Mediterranean centers is significant. The stamps and body shards belonging to this group have been recorded in Alexandria (Egypt), Delos, Tenos, Atina, centers in the Black Sea Region, Pergamon, Nagidos, the Levant Region, Crocodilopolis-Arsinoe, Akoris, Tebtynis and Bouto (Egypt). Matrix studies of the stamps of Nikandros Group have been made possible by the numerous examples found in Alexandria. A database containing the stamps of the group in Alexandria has been prepared. To this, all the stamped handles of Nikandros Groups found in varied consumption centers and published till the present day have been integrated in order to have a complete stamp database of the Group. Through this database, it is possible to get information about the system of stamping amphoras of the group, characteristics of the stamps, organization of stamps, characteristics of the inscriptions on the stamps, and the names inscribed on the stamps. In the article, by examining the findings in Alexandria, the form and clay features of the amphoras of Nikandros Group, the general characteristics of the stamps, a complete list of the names appearing on the stamps, and the methods used for the definition of matrices have been presented
