About this photo

Among the many relics on display at the Archaeological Museum of Sperlonga, a few amphorae stand out for their simplicity and functional beauty.


Used to transport and preserve goods such as wine, olive oil, and garum (the famous fish sauce), these amphorae were omnipresent in Roman daily life. Their slender shape and sturdy handles allowed them to be stacked in the holds of merchant ships, illustrating the practical ingenuity of the ancient world.


Modest witnesses to trade and domestic life in the imperial era, they complete the evocation of Tiberius's villa: a place where luxury, culture, and everyday logistics coexisted by the sea, in the shadow of the myths of Odysseus.
