“…Cross designs and nonfigural types are numerous, they vary in size more than figural ampullae, and they were made from different clays (Anderson forthcoming). The concentric circles motif -which sometimes appears as a framing device -has been used to chart similarities between ampulla types, and it has been suggested that the motif originated from Egypt (Griffmg 1938;Robert 1984). Variety in the colour and size of non-figural ampullae is further evidence for multiple sites of production.…”

“…Unrecorded purchases of ampullae have hindered investigation of this type of artefact, and it is impossible to know how many might be held in collections, or were bought in private transactions. Even the distinguished epigrapher Louis Robert seemed to show scant regard for context by acquiring flasks from Turkish villagers in the 1980s (Robert 1984). It is depressing to note that pilgrim flasks feature among the Roman material for sale at online antiquities auctions (for example, Edgar L. Owen Ltd 2005).…”

“…The cities of Ephesus and Pergamon also have reliably published finds, although the majority reported to be from Ephesus, and all from Smyrna come without details of their discovery. Louis Robert suggested that most of the Louvre's holdings were from the Hermus valley where the collector Gaudin was operating, but they might just as well have been bought in Izmir (Robert 1984). Other find-spots in western Asia Minor are Didyma, Knidos, Phocaea and Samos.…”

Pilgrimage happens when a place becomes the focus of veneration because of its association with a person or event. Pilgrim cults from the past can sometimes be identified by grouping certain types of material evidence, although interpretation of a cult's historical meaning is only possible once the material has been fully assessed. This study considers what sorts of information can be drawn from the archaeological context of a group of clay ampullae; miniature flasks originating from Asia Minor in late antiquity.

Carian Aphrodisias has been known as a rich site since the eighteenth century from the inscriptions copied there by travellers, transcribing especially off blocks re-used in the city-wall. In the twentieth century excavation has very notably increased our information and has made a quite outstanding contribution to the epigraphy of the city since Professor Kenan Erim began to dig there in the early sixties. It is not simply a matter of numbers; the content of these inscriptions is unusually significant in the additions it makes to knowledge of the ancient world.Publication of the inscriptions so far has concentrated on the Diocletianic texts, while a great series of documents relating to the city's formal relation with Rome is now in press. I offer here some notes on another aspect of that relationship, the early stages of imperial cult at Aphrodisias.

Karpophoroi deities and the Attic cult of Ge. Notes on IG II2 4758

Karpophoros, fruit-bearing, is an epithet easily considered as “literary”, i.e., a poetic name with little or no relation to cult. The epigraphic sources, however, clearly show us that gods thus named were offered divine worship. The epithet is found in connection with several deities. Goddesses of agriculture, such as Demeter, and Ge, the Earth, naturally carry this name, but so do Zeus, Dionysos and a goddess known as “The Aiolian”, who was sometimes associated with Agrippina. This paper surveys deities known as karpophoroi and examines what their cult entailed. Its focus is, however, on a brief Acropolis inscription, IG II2 4758, where Ge is honoured as Karpophoros, in accordance with an oracle. The case study provides insights into the Attic cult of Ge, the epithet Karpophoros, as well as the use and function of epithets within Greek dedicatory language.
