Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In this book about the gradual evolution of European civilization from the 7th millennium Aegean, the last paper relates the growing impact of Roman society on Gaul in the 1st century BC and early 1st AD; the Celts' greed for wine made them natural targets for exploitation by Roman merchants, who received slaves in return. Settlements and wrecks provide evidence of the amphorae, which used the Bordeaux-Atlantic route to reach Brittany. Hengistbury Head was receiving amphorae in 1st century BC, together with other exotica like figs. Hengistbury's exports appear to have been corn, perhaps salt meat, and almost certainly slaves. With the Romanization of Gaul the western sea routes gave place to more direct ones to eastern British ports. | ||||||
