 Tech Tidbit -- May 14, 2001
In that letter, the @ sign represented an amphora, a standard-sized clay vessel used in ancient times to carry wine and grain in trade in the Mediterranean area.
Eventually, according to Professor Stabile, the use of the "@" in trade led to its contemporary meaning (prior to e-mail, that is) of "at the price of." In 1885 it appeared on the keyboard of the first Underwood typewriter, from where it eventually made its way to today's standard computer keyboards.
In English, while still the "amphora" officially, it is most widely known as the "at sign." The names in German (at-Zeichen) and Japanese (atto maak) are similar.
