The Nolan amphora is a variant style of the amphora jar, a common artifact of Greek and Roman pottery. Nolan amphorae are characterized by a neck that is longer and narrower than in traditional neck amphorae, along with ribbed handles or straps that join the piece at the base of the neck.[1] They are named for the archaeological site at Nola, Italy, where an abundance of these vessels have been unearthed.
