Le vin léétanien et de Tarraco à Carthage

Abstract

The article reviews the question of exports of wine amphorae from Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis to Carthage. Delattre’s study of the second wall of amphorae and its re-examination by J. Freed are the starting point, coupled with results from the more recent excavations, notably those of the German Archaeological Institute. Recent publications relating to the amphora production centers of the Citerior Tarraconensis have marked significant advances in the epigraphy and typology of these amphorae. This permits a new summary of these commercial activities. Since Layetania was a major player in this trade, special attention is paid to Lauronense wine.
