Distribution of Stamped Dressel 20 Amphorae Produced at Axati in Roman Baetica: A Quantitative Study of Olive Oil Consumption Levels at Military and Civilian Sites, Wilfried Laurier University, 2010. 323 grams, 11.3cm (4 1/2). From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019), acquired on the UK art market from 1960-2000. Amphora forms can vary from one region to another so that, in conjunction with information recorded on stamps and tituli picti, they can inform the purchaser about origin and contents, in a manner akin to modern trade packaging. Dressel 20 amphorae are large, globular olive oil storage vessels that were produced in Baetica in southern Spain, in a region encompassing the Guadalquivir river valley between Cordoba and Seville. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils.
