The world of vinicultural archaeology has expanded exponentially over the past two decades, adding novel discoveries, methodologies, theories, and new archaeological evidence. Despite this, focused regional or site-specific approaches and syntheses dominate scholarship. This article provides an alternate, macroperspective via a comprehensive update and overview of the archaeological evidence for the entire Italian peninsula. When considered as a whole, the sheer quantity of evidence is simply a starting point for future research directions. New data from pre-Roman Italy might suggest localized indigenous winemaking experimentation, contrasting with traditionally dominant east-west colonial diffusionist models. Detailed cataloguing and interpretation of Roman wineries demonstrate that two dominant press types were present simultaneously. Along with these syntheses, previously unpublished evidence is analyzed for the first time, including conspicuous, lavish, and theatrical wine production at the Villa dei Quintili just outside Rome. 1 introduction "There are two liquids that are especially agreeable to the human body, wine inside and oil outside" (Plin., HN 14.29.150). Wine permeated and enveloped Roman culture. It was both a daily drink and reserved for special occasions, played a key role in trade and the economy, and was found in medicinal, religious, domestic, and commercial contexts. Since antiquity, Roman winemaking and viticulture have been interpreted through historical sources, which tend to be scattered, incomplete, and biased, and, to an extent, comparative ethnography. 2 Indeed, preindustrial equipment and practice often retain ancient characteristics of the same region and thus provide a valuable proxy

Adriatic Wine Amphorae in Nea Paphos

The aim of this study is to present data on the amphorae and stoppers of Adriatic production coming from Cyprus, in particular from Nea Paphos. Three kinds of wine amphorae, Greco-Italic, Lamboglia 2 and Dressel 6A, closely related to each other due to a common element – a ceramic disk, which they were sealed with – appear in small amounts on sites from the late Hellenistic to the early Roman period. They are also attested at Maloutena in Nea Paphos. Analysis of these imports was carried out in order to define the quantity and variety of the material. The preliminary results were incorporated into the present paper.

“…However, the low number of studies and samples analysed makes it difficult to identify the main workshops in the area and to detect the distribution of amphorae and, therefore, movement of goods. Lively debate exists among scholars as to whether Late Roman Republican Lamboglia 2 amphorae were produced in the western Adriatic (Cipriano and Carre 1989;Menchelli et al 2013;Carre et al 2014;Van Limbergen 2018) or on the eastern Adriatic coast (Cambi 1972: Kirigin et al 2006aLindhagen 2009). These studies have examined this question based on the criterion of abundance.…”

Origins and Distribution of Hellenistic and Late Republican Transport Amphorae in the Dalmatian Region and its Implications for Adriatic Trade and Economy

The presence of Hellenistic and Late Republican transport amphorae at numerous sites along the Adriatic and within shipwrecks off the coast indicates that intense trade and/or exchange in commodities such as olive oil and wine took place in this region from the fourth until the first century BC. The details of this commercial activity are nevertheless unclear in terms of the sources, destinations, and routes via which transport containers and their contents were circulated. The present study brings compositional data to bear on this topic by analysing petrographically and geochemically 248 amphorae sherds from 15 sites along the Dalmatian coast of present-day Croatia, including production sites, places of consumption, and shipwrecks. This revealed the existence of several larger amphora workshops whose amphorae were used to export goods to Dalmatia during the fourth and third centuries BC. They were involved in direct trade or through intermediaries in the redistribution centres. In the second and first centuries BC, only one workshop supplied amphorae in the region, which is probably the Dalmatian town of Issa. Aspects of the regional and inter-regional distribution and redistribution of amphorae from these workshops have been reconstructed, as well as changes within the trading system over time.
