Abstract
Despite the numerous literature on the production and consumption of Baetican olive-oil during the Principate, little is known about the survival of the Baetican amphorae in the Late Roman Empire. We present an epigraphic and economic study on a particular production of Dressel 23 amphorae, welldated in the first half of the Vth century A.D. It is a high value documental source, because it confirms objectively that a vivid trade continued under the political and religious rule of the primitive Christianism.
