Hispania and the Roman Mediterranean ad 100–700 : Ceramics and Trade

A comprehensive analysis reveals significant trends in the production and trade of ceramics, including fine wares, coarse wares, and amphora-borne goods, across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearics from the 2nd to the 7th century AD. The study synthesizes data from published sources and new, unpublished findings from excavations in key Mediterranean sites such as Beirut, Athens, Butrint, Durres, Carthage, Lepcis Magna, and Zeugma. It provides an unprecedented overview of Roman trade networks, tracing the movement of goods from the Black Sea and eastern Mediterranean to the western Empire, including Britain. The research highlights the role of Iberian exports in shaping trade dynamics across the Roman Empire during this period.
