“…The Aigio and Sikyon workshops seem to be only the tip of the iceberg in terms of evidence for continuing or even increasing prosperity for the northern Peloponnese from the second half of the second century to at least the end of the first century BC (Filis 2019b: 17). Production of this general form of 'ovoid' amphora seems to have occurred soon after, perhaps even arising simultaneously, in the Brindisi region (Manacorda and Pallecchi 2012; Manacorda 2019) before spreading to northwestern Tunisia and eastern Algeria (Contino and Capelli 2019), and then to southern Spain and Portugal (for example, de Almeida and Fabião 2019; García Vargas and Sáez-Romero 2019; García Vargas et al 2019b).…”

Research on transport amphorae in the Aegean and the Black Sea regions during the past decade has progressed significantly, both accumulating, synthesizing and interpreting new and old data, and increasing attention given to previously neglected areas and periods. Much work has been done on identifying places of production, defining typological development and refining chronologies. Greece and Turkey are achieving greater prominence in the field, as is attention to the Early Iron Age. Old debates – such as on the purposes and the meanings of amphora stamps – have been reignited with new ideas and the roles of transport amphorae in socio-economic systems continue to draw attention. Another emerging trend is the effort to consider amphorae in the longue durée. As material grows and the field becomes more cosmopolitan, amphora studies increasingly face the challenge of aggregating and synthesizing data in a way that can encourage participation in the broader dialogues of economic historians.

The Baetican Dressel 20 is probably the most widely diffused amphora of the Roman period, found in large quantities throughout all the Roman and nearby territories. It is the most powerful evidence of the importance of the olive oil trade for Roman society and of olive oil's extraordinary production in the Baetican countryside. This wide diffusion of the amphora and, in some ways, its ubiquity at many archaeological sites, have hindered the study of the early stages of Baetican olive oil production and diffusion. The protagonists were not these spherical containers, commonly stamped up until the late 3rd c. CE, but previous models that evolved rapidly after their origins in Late Republican times. In this paper, we aim to analyze not only the formal characteristics and evolution of these peculiar and still unstandardized containers, but also other aspects linked to their production, as well as the scope of their diffusion.
