| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | This paper focuses on ten tituli picti on amphorae from Rome and Pompeii dating from the first century BC until the first century AD, that include consular dates and refer to the diffusio of wine in containers. The study provides details about the meaning of the consular inscriptions including the verb diffusio written on the amphorae and situates the assemblage in relation to the “wine calendar” that would have been known to growers and producers, which determined several factors about the maturation, distribution, and acquisition of wine. Even though the sample of amphorae studied in this piece is small, these inscriptions are perfect examples to illustrate some methods of selling wine in the Roman world, among the many different possible ways. This contribution will emphasise the need of conducting more studies about sale of wine, considering written material and archaeological sources to better understanding how Roman commerce worked in practice. |
