Large numbers of Greco-Italic and Dressel 1 amphorae were exported to many parts of Gaul during the late Iron Age and they provide a major source of information on the development and growth of the Roman economy during the late Republican period. This volume examines in detail this trade to the Auvergne region of central France and provides a typological and chronological study of the main assemblages of Republican amphorae found on the farms, agglomerations, oppida, and funerary sites, dating from the second century BC until the early first century AD. Other topics examined include the provenance of the amphorae, the stamps, painted inscriptions and graffiti, the distribution of Republican amphorae in the Auvergne, and the evidence for their modification and reuse. Finally, a gazetteer of Republican amphora findspots from France is also provided.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: The Auvergne and the Arverni Chapter 3: Greco-Italic Amphorae Chapter 4: Dressel 1 Amphorae Chapter 5: Other Types of Republican Amphorae Chapter 6: Methodologies Chapter 7: The Republican Amphora Assemblages from the Auvergne Chapter 8: Assemblage Comparisons Chapter 9: Provenance Chapter 10: Stamps Chapter 11: Distribution Chapter 12: Modification, Reuse, and Deposition Chapter 13: Associated Material Culture Chapter 14: Conclusion Appendix 1: Catalogue of Stamps, Painted Inscriptions, and Graffiti Appendix 2: Gazetteer of Republican Amphora Findspots in France Bibliography
