What is the difference between a pithos and an amphora?
The pithos was a courseware storage vessel that had similar features to an amphora (used for liquids) with its high neck and handles, but it was often much larger in size and could store much more than the standard amphora. The basic purpose of a pithos was to store wine, oil, grain, and other types of food.
