Amphorae are considered important evidence of ancient Mediterranean trade. Archaeologists study excavated amphorae to research trade routes and lifestyles of the time. Amphorae discovered underwater, in particular, reveal traces of ancient maritime trade.
In modern times, amphorae are sometimes reinterpreted and used as decorative containers for luxury foods such as wine or olive oil. They are also the symbol of Aquarius in Western astrology, so they are often seen in astrology-related content.
