What are some cool facts about amphoras?

Amphorae designed for marine transport, taken from shipwrecks of the bronze age, on display in the Museum of Underwater Archaeology at bodrum castle Turkey. The museum archaeologists have devised a rack and roping device to illustrate how the cargo might have been kept from shifting.
Below: Athenian amphora of the iron age, painted in the black-figure style, showing the goddess Athena. This masterpiece was designed for show, in addition to holding a fluid, most likely wine, for the dining room. Hope this helped!
