Beschreibung
Seaborne commerce in the Roman Empire is characterised by a remarkable efficiency
for the pre-modern world. From Egypt to Britain, trade connections can be proven on
the basis of archaeological finds. The range of these activities includes the
Mediterranean, the Black Sea and parts of the north-eastern Atlantic. Important
reference points for the assessment of Roman merchant shipping are ports, ships and
cargo remains. Due to the large number of known shipwrecks and ports, archaeology in
particular can contribute to a better understanding of maritime trade. The
contributions address various aspects of the "seaborne commerce" with a broad
methodological spectrum. In addition to wreck finds, the relevance of inscriptions
on amphorae and other cargo remains are considered as well as the formation of
networks, the reconstruction of ship routes and the performance of ancient
watercraft based on experiments.
