Amphorae, witnesses to ancient trade
True emblems of ancient trade, amphorae accompanied every crossing.
They were mainly used to transport olive oil, wine, cereals, perfumes, as well as spices and textiles.
Found today by the thousands in shipwrecks and on archaeological sites, they still allow historians to reconstruct the trade routes of antiquity.
Their presence on this scarf pays homage to the intense circulation of riches that made the heart of the Mediterranean beat.
