The Crikvenica amphora

Crikvenica is a town of impressive cultural heritage that dates right back to Roman times. This has been confirmed by recent archaeological exploration of the Ad Turres settlement, located on the site of today's Crikvenica. Among other findings, which all attest to life in this area around the 1st century AD, particularly worth mentioning is a unique type of Roman amphora, known as the Crikvenica Amphora after the location where it was discovered.
"Adriatic Flat-Bottomed Amphora of the Crikvenica Type" is the official name of this special type of amphora, which was first discovered at the Ad Turres archaeological site, and whose type/uniqueness has been confirmed by the relevant experts." The Crikvenica Amphora is of a flat-bottomed Roman type and represents a local variant of the Forlimpopoli amphora type that was manufactured in Italy in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Due to the many formal characteristics that distinguish this from the Forlimpopoli type, it has been concluded that the amphorae from Crikvenica were indeed an original product of Ad Turres. They were manufactured in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD in the large ceramic workshop that was discovered at the site of the present sports hall in Crikvenica. Today, two thousand years later, the production of these amphorae has been started anew.
