Las cerámicas africanas de la cuidad romana de Baetulo (Hispania Tarraconensis) (BAR International Series)

by Xavier Aquilué i Abadias

This study uses the imported African red slip ware and cooking wares as an index for the later history of an important port on the north-eastern coast of Hispania Tarraconensis. Looking at the 1st and 2nd centuries AD Aquilue presents the ceramic evidence, which at first points to a major Roman town, the outlet for the export of locally produced Laietanian wine to markets throughout the western Empire, but later degenerates into a sparsely inhabited settlement.
