Roman Terracotta Amphora is an ancient jar with two handles and a narrow neck, used to hold oil or wine. Most were produced with a pointed base to allow them to be stored in an upright position by being partly embedded in sand or soft ground.

What is a greek or roman bottle?

There were very few small hand held, portable "bottles" at the time as they were determined not to be cost effective given the very little volume they would hold. Instead, an "Amphora" (Plural: amphorae) was used to transport fluids. An amphora was similar to the size of a modern day flower vase with handles on either side. Drinkable fluid from an amphora would be poured into a small "Kylix" which is the most direct equivalent to a small drinking cup.
