Sažetak
While literary sources suggest a wine-producing industry in Roman Dalmatia, its scale and character are still elusive due to, especially for certain micro-regions, relatively modest data on the actual production loci. In such cases turning to indirect evidence of wine production is the only approach allowing to understand this activity, and to attempt to assess its scale and actors involved. On this occasion we will focus on early Imperial amphorae types whose production has been ascertained and located in the northern part of ancient province Dalmatia, that is, Liburnia. In fact, the identification of several types usually connected to the transport of wine allows to better understand this branch of the Roman economy through the study of objects, landscape connected with their production and patterns of their distribution. What emerges is a regional vocation towards wine production, driven by foreign investment through the setup of rural productive complexes whose output targeted the regional, but in some instances possibly a wider Adriatic market.
