MARKETS, AMPHORA TRADE AND WINE INDUSTRY 253
(1999a: 92; 1999b: 140) cursorily criticized this line of research. Recently the subject has
been taken up by Müller 2010 : 249–54.
19 The change is very visible in the sample of amphora deposits published by Monakhov 1999
(with commentary on pp. 570–1). The emergence of Rhodes as the dominant source of
amphoras for the Black Sea after the mid-third century has been noticed in many publica-
tions, e.g., Brashinsky 1984 : 182; Badal`yants 1986 ; Conovici 2005 : 107–11; and Lawall et al.
2010 : 385. Berthold (2009: 51–2) connects the quantities of Rhodian amphora stamps found
in the Black Sea with reciprocal grain exports.
20 On Rhodes taking the lead from Athens in maritime trade (especially in cereals) during
the Hellenistic period, see Casson 1954 : 168–72; 1984 : 70–95; Berthold 2009: 52; Migeotte
2009 : 132–3. On the possible impact this shift had on the Aegean amphora trade, see Lawall
2005 : 215.
