ContentsAmphorae of this type from the Port Vendres Claudian shipwreck bear inscriptions naming the contents as defrutum, a sweet liquid obtained by boiling down must (Colls et alii, 1977; Parker & Price, 1981). However, other painted inscriptions include olives in defructum or muria as possible content (Carreras Monfort et al., 2005). Wine may also another potential content according to the results from the phytolith analyses (Carreras Monfort et al., 2005).Search: [Defrutum] [Fish Sauce] [Olives] [Wine] | ||
