| Summary: | This article presents an overview of the contact and exchange networks in the southern Latium and northern Campania between the 9th and the 3rd centuries BC. Since the end of the 20th century, several studies conducted in these coastal areas have revealed the vitality of cultural and commercial exchange in this region frequented by several Mediterranean peoples. The Tyrrhenian streams and winds combined with coastal lagoons generate many possibilities for mooring and shelter during cabotage along the coast. These stops allow the crew of the ship to benefit from local goods such as salt and wine. At the same time, a dense communication network of rivers and roads of various sizes enables the integration of hinterland resources, like wood and pitch, to this economy. This complex system of exchange seems to attribute a particular role to sanctuaries: they are used to mark the territory but serve also as meeting places and asylums where merchants can profit from divine protection for their activities and their journey. |
