Abstract
This paper discusses the remains of a ceramic assemblage associated with the cargo of a Late Roman trading vessel, discovered by the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project (BSMAP) in 2017. Dating from the early 4th century AD, this previously undisturbed wreck is arguably the most comprehensive assemblage of a Late Roman trading vessel yet discovered outside of the Mediterranean. Through comparative analysis of 81 amphorae in the forward section of the wreck, this paper aims to draw further understanding of the maritime trade systems that operated between the major seas of the Eastern Roman empire.
