Abstract

The wine trade of the Hispania Tarraconensis province represented a significant economic phenomenon from the late Roman Republic to the mid-1st century AD, comprising a vast distribution network throughout the Western and Central Mediterranean. This article reviews 35 years of advancements in the study of Tarraconensis wine trade, pointing out the evolution of research, methodologies employed, and the challenges that persist. Through a synthesis of existing literature and new evidence, this work integrates the challenges and findings of a recent doctoral thesis that addresses many of these issues.
