making wine in amphorae
#3
A dolium can be pottery too, as you seen in Pompeii, set in the ground or in the counter of a caupona. In the news illustration, the object is clearly a dolium. Most likely however, no one knows the distinction of a dolium vs. an amphora, so the editors used the word amphora.
