As ânforas da Gália de Monte Molião (Lagos, Portugal)

Abstract

The consumption of Gaulish wine in Monte Molião was documented through a set of Gauloise 4 and 5 amphorae, not very expressive in numerical terms, but one of the largest in the Portuguese territory. The relatively weak representativeness of these containers, contrasting to the abundance of manufactured products with the same origin, specifically terra sigillata, is not surprising, since it replicates the situation in all the Far West. The collection contexts for these amphoras indicate a chronology located between the middle of the first century and the beginning of the second.
