The study of amphorae production in Cisalpine Gaul, carried out in the last decades in parallel to Sara Santoro’s research on handcraft production, has identified various groups of containers for the transport of wine. They can be easily identified among the large group of Adriatic wine amphorae (Dressel 6A) on the basis of their morphological characters. In most cases their rich epigraphic apparatus enables us to attribute them to specific workshops and, sometimes, to hypothesize their provenance. The recent discovery of new stamped specimens, found mainly in the Emilian territory, has suggested to revise this topic within a general economic framework.

Abstract
The study of amphorae production in Cisalpine Gaul, carried out in the last decades in parallel to Sara Santoro’s research on handcraft production, has identified various groups of containers for the transport of wine. They can be easily identified among the large group of Adriatic wine amphorae (Dressel 6A) on the basis of their morphological characters. In most cases their rich epigraphic apparatus enables us to attribute them to specific workshops and, sometimes, to hypothesize their provenance. The recent discovery of new stamped specimens, found mainly in the Emilian territory, has suggested to revise this topic within a general economic framework.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
