Rhodian Amphora Stamps at the Foot of the Carpathians. New Evidences from the Dacian Settlement at Cetățeni

Abstract

This paper is occasioned by the identification in museum collections of four Rhodian stamped amphora handles discovered in the Dacian settlement from Cetățeni (Romania), which raises to 114 the quantity of Rhodian stamps known from here. This large number of Rhodian amphora stamps compared to any other Dacian site is explained by the fact that the settlement of Cetățeni (2nd century BC – 1st century AD), located at the southern foot of the Carpathians, controlled a very important road that started from the Danube and crossed mountains to the north. The amount of imports in general (pottery, ornaments, coins) in this settlement is high, and indicates clear connections with the Mediterranean civilization, first with the Hellenistic world and then with the Roman one. The batch of Rhodian amphora stamps from Cetățeni covers the periods III-VI, with an obvious peak in the V period, in the decade 130-121 BC. The four new stamps are divided into two of eponym (Andrias, who is one of the last eponyms of the period Va, and an illegible one) and two of fabricant (both of them belonging to Linos).
