An amphora (/ˈæmfərə/; Ancient Greek: ἀμφορεύς was the unit of measurement of volume in the Greco-Roman era. The term amphora comes from ancient Greece where people used a tall jar looking container with two opposed handles near the top mostly made of ceramic. Amphora literally means "two handled". An amphora is equal to 48 sextarii, which is about 34 litres or 9 gallons in the US customary units and 7.494 gallons in the imperial system of units. The French amphora, also called the minot de Paris, is 1/8 muid or one cubic pied du roi and therefore ~34 litres.

| - Àmfora o quadrantal (o Àmfora quadrantal) era una unitat de mesura de líquids romana equivalent a 25,86 litres. Els grecs també usaven aquesta mesura, però l'àmfora grega era quivalent a 40 litres. Va ser la principal mesura romana de capacitat de líquids. Sext Pompeu Fest dona el text d'un plebiscit de data desconeguda que regulava els pesos i mesures: "Ex ponderus publicis, quibus hac tempestate populus octier solet, uti coaequetur sedulum, uti quadrantal vini octoginta pondo siet: congius vini decem pondos sex sextari congius siet vini; duodequinquaginta sextari quadrantal siet vini" (el quadrantal ha de contenir 80 pondos de vi i el congi 10; el sextari ha de ser 1/6 del congi i 1/48 del quadrantal).

El quadrantal estava subdividit en dos urnes (urnae), 8 congis (congii), 48 sextaris (sextarii), 96 hemines (heminae), 192 quartaris (quartarii), 348 acetabules (acetabulae), 576 ciats (cyathi) i 2304 ligules (ligulae). Comparat en mesures seques el quadrantal era tres vegades un modi (modius). L'única mesura més gran era el culeu o cul·leu (culeus o culleus) de 20 àmfores, que s'utilitzava per fer una estimació de la producció d'una vinya. Un model estàndard de quadrantal era guardat amb gran cura al temple de Júpiter al Capitoli i s'anomenava Àmfora Capitolina. Aquesta mesura estava a càrrec dels edils. També allí mateix hi havia un congi fet sobre la mateixa base. L'àmfora romana o quadrantal era 2/5 de la d'Egina i 2/3 de la d'Àtica (metretes); el congi romà era igual al χοῦς àtic. En mesures seques el quadrantal era també 1/3 de la d'Egina, però ½ de la de l'Àtica (medimnus) i per tant el modi era 1/9 del modi d'Egina i 1/6 del modi d'Àtica. El sextari romà es va introduir entre el grecs amb el nom de εέστης. Les relacions eren en mesures líquides
* Quadrantal roma = 48 sextaris
* Àtic metretes = 72 sextaris
* Metretes d'Egina = 120 sextaris I en mesures seques:
* Modi romà = 16 sextaris
* Medimnus d'Àtica = 96 sextaris
* Medimnus d'Egina = 144 sextaris. (ca)

The Roman amphora quadrantal (~25.9 litres), was one cubic-pes, holding 80 libra of wine, and was used to measure liquids, bulk goods, the cargo capacity of ships, and the production of vineyards. Along with other standardized Roman measures and currency) gave an added advantage to Roman commerce. The related amphora capitolina standard, was kept in the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill in Rome. A typical Greek amphora, based on a cubic-pous, was ~38.3 litres, The Greek talent, an ancient unit of weight was roughly the mass of the amount of water that would fill an amphora. The French amphora, also called the minot de Paris, is 1/8 muid or one cubic pied du roi and therefore ~34 litres. (en)
