Amber Route Sites

Summary

Shows Amber Route and Sites along the Pannonia. The large number of amphorae (a type of ceramic vase with two handles and a long neck) dug up along the Amber Route to date, are characteristic findings of the early period of the Roman Empire. Their sites indicate the trade relations with different provinces. The Italian inhabitants of Pannonia were always able to consume foodstuffs produced in the Mediterranean. In the amphorae transported here, wine, oil, olives and fish sauce were stored.
