Abstract: "The Pascual 1 amphora is followed by the Dressel 2-4 type in Bordeaux, and by a flat bottom amphora obviously from the Bordeaux region.
"The disappearance of the Pascual 1 amphora can be interpreted as the consequence of the founding of the Bordeaux wine region during the first half of the first century. This is corroborated during the last third of this century by the emergence of the local flat bottom amphora which could well be the vessel for the Biturica praised by the Latin authors." Such flat-bottomed amphorae seem to have been made at a number of relatively small-scale production centres which now can be seen to stretch from Bordeaux in the south-west of Gaul to Verulamium and other sites in Britain, and to Gueugnon (see entry no. 1219) to the east, and including sites on the lower Loire Valley and in Normandie. The forms are remarkably similar, considering the huge area of production.
