Abstract
Gaditan scomber in Ephesos. A new Dressel 12 with titulus found in the "terrace house 2" at Ephesos. The baetican fish products were exported around the whole Roman world, their traffic reaching its highest level around the 1st century A. D. In this period we can find Baetican fish amphorae from the Levant up to the British islands. Ephesus, one of the richest cities in Antiquity, was not an exception, and the arrival of these products there is confirmed by the presence of various exemplars of Baetican amphorae. However, there hadn’t been a piece up to date that presented us with so much information about its content and its trade as the one I discuss in the present text, thanks to a partly preserved ink inscription. Moreover, the domestic context where it was found is one of the wealthiest in Ephesus, which makes the piece particularly meaningful.
