Las Ceramicas Africanas de la Ciudad Romana de Baetulo

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.
