		According to Giorgio Stabile, a professor of history in Rome, the "at" symbol or "amphora symbol" is not a new sign at all -- and it predates the 18th century as historians previously believed.
		Professor Stabile has been hard at work for the past three months studying this ubiquitous symbol -- and has now traced it back to May 4, 1536 in a Roman mercantile document signed by Francesco Lapi.
		No doubt the race is on to find earlier recordings but for now -- the "at" symbol, drawn as we know it, dates back at least as far as the Italian Renaissance.

		The document talks about commerces with Pizarro and in particular the price of an @ of wine in Peru, where <@> stood for amphora (Italian anfora; Spanish and Portuguese arroba).

	History of the 'at' symbol @ commercial at
		Amphora was the unit of measurement that determined the amount held by the large terra cotta jars that were used to ship grain, spices and wine.
		Giorgio Stabile, an Italian scholar, discovered the @ symbol in a letter written in 1536 by a Florentine trader named Francesco Lapi.
		It seems likely that some industrious trader saw the @ symbol in a book transcribed by monks using the symbol and appropriated it for use as the amphora abbreviation.

		The evidence was hidden in the archives at the Francesco Datini Institute of Economic History in Prato, near Florence: a letter written by Francesco Lapi, a Florentine trader, on May 4, 1536, clearly shows what is the earliest known example of the quintessential symbol of the Internet.
