The Identification of the “Sant’Imbenia” Amphora Type: The Story of a Friendship and of two Similar Yet Distinct Amphorae

Abstract

The origins of my friendship with Susanna1 date back to the period of the SITAG project (Sistema Informativo Archeologico Gallurese – Gallura Archaeological Information System), an initiative that brought together a large group of early-career scholars and fostered the development of scientific and professional expertise, as well as – perhaps most importantly – enduring personal bonds that have lasted to the present day. My relationship with Susanna was particularly close, grounded in mutual esteem and affection, to the extent that the desire to collaborate again became a concrete prospect when, at the conclusion of the SITAG project, I was awarded a research fellowship by the National Research Council.
