Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
During the study of amphorae from the Late Roman settlement Komariv, which is placed in the Middle Dniester, the big group of fragments was distinguished. This group presents rare for Northern Black Sea region Italic amphorae type. This type of antique containers was produced in northern Italy at the end of the I – the beginning of the IV century AD. Production centres are known in Forlimpopoli, Rimini and Santarcangelo di Romagna (Emilia-Romagna). The highest concentration of Forlimpopoli amphorae is noticed in the Veneto region. Furthermore, there are known cases of their findings in foothills of the Alps, in Central and Southern Italy, on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, in the Western Black Sea and the Mediterranean regions. Also, alarge amount of Forlimpopoli amphorae shreds was found in the lower and middle Danube regions. The boundaries of Forlimpopoli amphorae distribution extend only to the cities of the western Black Sea coast; they are not imported to the southern and eastern Black Sea regions. They have not been found yet in Tyras, Olbia, Chersonese and in the cities of Europe and Bosporus Asiaticus. The only exception is Tanais, where such containers were found in complexes of the middle of the III century BC. There are several locations of such amphorae beyond the borders of the ancient world are also known. It is burial 1 in the barrow 5 of late Sarmatian burial ground Chaush in the Danube river delta and two Carpathian Tumuli culture burials in Subcarpathia region (burial ground Branişte-Nemţişor, barrow 1 and burial ground Kaminna, barrow 2). Thus, in the North Pontic region Forlimpopoli amphorae are founded in the Don (Tanais) mouth, Danube Delta, at the Middle Dniester and Subcarpathia region. Perhaps, after the devastating of the Tanais in 250's the main consumers of the Italian wine, imported in these amphorae become barbarian tribes living in the Upper and Middle Dniester and Subcarpathia region. On this territory such wine could be delivered through the Prut and Siret rivers valleys from the Roman city Dinogetsiya on the Lower Danube.
