The average size of the amphorae is about 75 cm (appr. 2.5 feet) in height, and 50 cm (app. 1.7 feet) in length...

I'm trying to envision this and cannot get it straight.

I’m guessing they mean, the height is 2.5 feet, and since it’s round, the largest measurement through the body is 1.7 feet. By way of illustration, a cube’s dimensions are given with a single figure, e.g., an 8 foot cube.
