Le importazioni africane trovate sull’isola di Brač/Brattia, Dalmazia

There are more than 90 Roman rural sites on the island of Brač. On 18 of them African import has been identified including amphorae, terra sigillata and cooking ware. African import on the island began in the 2nd and lasted till 7th c. with the emphasis on the 3rd and 4th c. Finds suggest that oil and salsamenta were dominant among the imported goods with smaller quantities of vine. The typology of the finds does not differ from that on other eastern Adriatic locations. Results obtained so far are not sufficient to make definite conclusions and there are many questions to be answered including: what did the local economy look like before, why does import of these goods start at all, did the local economy collapse or this import was so aggressive that local economies were not competitive? There is also a possibility that the buyers simply had a wish for diversity on their table. The final destination of these African goods could have been other locations in Dalmatian inland and/or Pannonia that were no longer supplied by, for example, Istrian oil.
