Lead miniature amphorae from southern Türkiye

Summary/Abstract: In this brief paper we focus on some lead miniature amphorae from the Archaeological Museum of Hatay in Antakya, ancient Antioch-on-the-Orontes, Archaeological Museum of Mersin and Museum of Kahramanmaraş in southern Turkey. These lead objects are from the Roman or Late Roman-Early Byzantine period, and typologically they are in the form of small amphorae. This group of containers are very limitedly known in scholarly literature. In the Roman Near East they are mostly known from Jerusalem and some other sites in Israel. In this paper we will especially deal with the typology and distribution of these objects.
