In ancient Rome, wine and oil were measured using a unit called the “amphora.” But it wasn’t just a unit—it was also a clay container shaped to match the measurement. One amphora equaled about 26.2 liters, and the Romans even used it as a standard for taxation and trade.

Fast-forward to today, and that same amphora shape still inspires decorative vases and wine bottles. So next time you pour a glass, you’re sipping from a legacy that’s thousands of years old! 🍷📏
