Abstract

Este artículo supone un intento para empezar a sentar bases, donde se apoyen futuras investigaciones referentes al estudio de las relaciones interprovinciales entre el área Hispana y las provincias del noroeste del Imperio romano, a lo largo del mal conocido periodo de la Antigüedad tardía. El objeto principal de estudio son aquellas ánforas, que fabricadas en la Península Ibérica llegaron a las provincias fronterizas de Germania. Partiendo de un análisis de la situación existente y de los contextos arqueológicos más significativos, se pretende calibrar el alcance de la demanda de estos contenedores cerámicos y valorar su aportación al conocimiento de las relaciones comerciales y culturales entre estas dos áreas distantes, así como plantear cuestiones referentes al carácter de los consumidores de las mercancías que en ellos iban envasados. PALABRAS CLAVE: Ánforas, Germania, Hispania, Salazón, Vino, Aceite de oliva. SummaryThis paper attempts at setting the groundwork for new studies on the relations between the Hispanic and the Northwestern provinces of the Roman Empire in Late Antiquity. The main subject are the Spanish amphorae that reached the German border territories. An analysis of both, the historical background and of the main archeological contexts, allows us to estimate real significance of the demand and to appreciate the value of these items to understand the commercial and cultural relations between these remote areas. This is also an opportunity to answer several questions about the consumption in North Europe of the Mediterranean products transported in the amphorae.
