"The focus of the book is on the interaction of trade and cultures in the Eastern Mediterranean during the late Hellenistic and Roman periods, and the authors discuss the extent to which these mechanisms can be traced from the ceramic evidence. Research in the Western Mediterranean has already yielded results allowing us to put forward theories on trade patterns and mechanisms as well as more complex theories on the socio-economic realities of the Roman Empire. In the West this was made possible through an understanding of the various pottery sequences, published kiln sites, and quantification of pottery and shipwrecks. However, things are different in the still less well-documented East, and it is important that we now turn to this less explored part of the ancient world in order to gain a better understanding of its trade."--BOOK JACKET.
