Dolia
The story of the Roman Empire’s enormous wine industry told through the remarkable ceramic storage and shipping containers that made it possible The average resident of ancient Rome drank two-hundred-and-fifty liters of wine a year, almost a bottle a day, and the total annual volume of wine consumed in the imperial capital would have overflowed the Pantheon. But Rome was too densely developed and populated to produce its own food, let alone wine. How were the Romans able to get so much wine? The key was the dolium—the ancient world’s largest type of ceramic wine and food storage and shipping container, some of which could hold as much as two-thousand liters. In Dolia, classicist and ar...
Hispania in Late Antiquity
Hispania in Late Antiquity: Current Approaches makes recent work on late antique Hispania available to a non-specialist audience outside the Iberian peninsula. The central theme of the volume is the integration of Hispania into the larger world of the later Roman empire. The contributors – archaeologists, historians, and historians of art – treat both the historical evidence and the historiographical context that has conditioned interpretation of that evidence. Topics covered include Christianization, urbanism, villas and land tenure, trade, and military topography. Taken together, the essays in this volume present a coherent and up-to-date picture of how Spain’s late antique culture came into being, and how it was transformed in the course of the late antique centuries. Contributors: Javier Arce; Kim Bowes; Pedro Castillo Maldonado; Alexandra Chavarría; Pablo C. Díaz; M. Victoria Escribano Paño; Carmen Fernández-Ochoa; Michael Kulikowski; Fernando López-Sánchez; Neil McLynn; Luís R. Menéndez-Bueyes; Ángel Morillo Cerdán; Paul Reynolds.
Late Roman Spain and Its Cities
Winner of an Honorable Mention in the Association of American Publishers’ Professional and Scholarly Publishing Awards in Classics and Archeology The history of Spain in late antiquity offers important insights into the dissolution of the western Roman empire and the emergence of medieval Europe. Nonetheless, scholarship on Spain in this period has lagged behind that on other Roman provinces. Michael Kulikowski draws on the most recent archeological and literary evidence to integrate late antique Spain into the broader history of the Roman empire, providing a definitive narrative and analytical account of the Iberian peninsula from A.D. 300 to 600. Kulikowski begins with a concise introduc...
Aristocrats and Statehood in Western Iberia, 300-600 C.E.
Aristocrats and Statehood in Western Iberia, 300-600 C.E. combines archaeological and literary sources to reconstruct the history of late antique Iberian aristocracies, facilitating the study of a social class that has proved elusive when approached through the lens of a single type of evidence.
Rural Granaries in Northern Gaul (Sixth Century BCE – Fourth Century CE)
In recent years, storage has come to the fore as a central aspect of ancient economies. However studies have hitherto focused on urban and military storage. Although archaeological excavations of rural granaries are numerous, their evidence has yet to be fully taken into account. Such is the ambition of Rural Granaries in Northern Gaul (Sixth Century BCE – Fourth Century CE). Focusing on northern Gaul, this volume starts by discussing at length the possibility of quantifying storage capacities and, through them, agrarian production. Building on this first part, the second half of the book sketches the evolution of rural storage in Gaul from the Iron Age to Late Antiquity, setting firmly archaeological evidence in the historical context of the Roman Empire.

Lateres plumbei hispani
L’Espagne romaine fut la principale région productrice et exportatrice de plomb dans une grande partie de la Méditerranée occidentale entre la fin de la République (IIe-Ier s. av. J.-C.) et le Ier siècle apr. J.-C. La diffusion de ce métal est connue par les très nombreux lingots découverts, pour la plupart — et plus spécialement au cours des dernières décennies — dans des épaves sous-marines. Porteurs d’une riche épigraphie, ils constituent une inépuisable source d’information sur l’organisation de l’activité minière dans l’Hispanie et sur le commerce au long cours du plomb qu’elle produisait. Cet ouvrage réunit toute l’épigraphie de ces lingots (marque...
