Amphoren Aus Cambodunum / Kempten: Ein Beitrag Zur Handelsgeschichte Der Romischen Provinz Raetia

Amphorae played a central role in the long-distance transport and trade of Mediterranean food and other goods during the Roman period. Today they represent an excellent archaeological source for ancient economic history and nutrition habits. This volume comprises an analysis of more than 2000 amphorae from Cambodunum (Kempten, Bavaria), an urban centre of the Roman province of Raetia. The classification, documentation and examination of the vessels in reference to economic aspects yielded new results on the trade connections and supply of Raetia with goods from the eastern and western Mediterranean.
