Vine-growing and Winemaking in the Roman World
Economic Change in the Mediterranean between the Principate and Late Antiquity
This article uses amphora quantification and regression analysis to trace economic changes in the Mediterranean between the Principate (27 bc to ad 284) and Late Antiquity. It indicates that, during the Principate, there was a clear pattern of amphora distribution across the Mediterranean, which can be explained by the predominance of market forces among the factors governing trade. In contrast, the weak correlation between exports and prices obs…
Consumption Trends, Trading Patterns and Economic Development in Italy Across Centuries
This paper presents novel insights into the long-term chronological patterns related to the distribution and consumption of amphora-borne foodstuffs in Italy. The study specifically focuses on the consumption of wine, olive oil and fish sauces, which exhibit diverse provenances. Notably, it contributes significantly to our understanding of the Roman economy by utilising an open dataset and a replicable research method. The analysis reveals a pron…
Levantine wines in Italy between the Early Empire and Late Antiquity
The aim of this paper is to investigate the patterns of importations of Levantine wines to Italy between the Early Empire and Late Antiquity. It concentrates on quantities of Levantine amphoras discovered in terrestrial contexts in Rome, Ostia, Campania and the North Adriatic part of Italy. This data is compared with published discoveries from other parts of Italy and the Roman Mediterranean, including finds from shipwrecks. Regression analyses i…
Amphorae from the Eastern Mediterranean and Beyond
The wide collection of texts about amphoras from the eastern Mediterranean gathered by Anthi Kaldeli concentrates on the early and the late Roman periods (first–seventh century AD). This chronological framework fittingly complements existing research on the eastern Mediterranean, which has so far been dominated by works focusing predominantly (but not exclusively: see, e.g., Reynolds 2005) on Classical and Hellenistic containers (e.g., Empereur a…
Roman Amphorae from Gonio (Apsaros), 1st–3rd Centuries AD
This paper presents the first study of the Roman period amphorae which were discovered by the Gonio-Apsaros Polish-Georgian Expedition at the Roman fort of Apsaros (modern Gonio, Georgia) between 2014 and 2019. Six excavation seasons provided over a thousand diagnostic fragments of both locally produced and imported transport containers, with a considerable number of these dating to between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD . Most of the imports come …
Imports and Market Integration in the Roman Mediterranean
The degree and nature of integration that existed within Roman economies is a crucial but so far unresolved question within the study of ancient economic history. This paper aims to test the level of market integration in the Roman Mediterranean by comparing amphora distributions from the late Republican period and Principate with those of Late Antiquity in Rome, three northern Adriatic cities (Aquileia, Padua, Verona) and Ephesus with the predic…
Making wine in earthenware vessels
Wine was deeply embedded in all aspects of Roman life and its role in society, culture and the economy has been much studied. Ancient Roman texts and archaeological research provide valuable insights into viticulture and the manufacture, trade and consumption of wine but little is known of the sensory nature of this prized commodity. Here, the authors offer a novel oenological approach to the study of Roman dolia through their comparison with mod…

Aegean Enigma
This paper argues that the rise and fall of north and central Aegean wine exportations was caused by economic factors, such as changes in wine supply. It demonstrates that these wines disappeared from southern Gaul and central Tyrrhenian Italy when these areas started to locally produce their own wine. At the same time, north and central Aegean wines were also ousted from the Black Sea region by both local products and cheaper imports from the so…
In vino sanitas
This paper explores the issue of medical qualities that were attributed to Greek wines by ancient physicians. It concentrates on the use of different wines as elements of nutritional regimens and as ingredients of certain medicines. One of the main purposes of this paper is to demonstrate the impact that Greek medicine had on Roman dietary habits
Luksus czy codzienność – importowane wina w starożytnym Rzymie (I w. p.n.e. – III w. n.e.)
Niniejszy artykuł dotyczy handlu winem w starożytnym Rzymie w okresie od I w. p.n.e do III w. n.e. Pokazuje on, że od czasów Augusta do Rzymu importowano głównie średniej i niskiej jakości trunki przeznaczone do masowej konsumpcji, a nie jak postulował Finley “fame regional wines”. Sugeruje to, że handel w starożytności odgrywał znacznie istotniejszą rolę niż zakłada ortodoksyjny model antycznej ekonomii.This paper regards wine trade in antiquity…
‘Brown-Clay’ Amphorae from Gonio (Apsaros)
This paper presents the first study of the so-called ‘brown-clay’ amphorae discovered by the Gonio-Apsaros Polish-Georgian Expedition in the Roman fort of Apsaros (modern Gonio, Georgia) between 2014 and 2018. In the course of five excavation seasons, 157 diagnostic fragments of these containers were attested, all belonging to variants Ch 1B2 and Ch 1C dated to between c. 50 BC and the 3rd century AD. Thus, they confirm the existence of the Apsar…
