This article focuses on the establishment of a winery on the Roman imperial estate at Vagnari in southeast Italy in the 2nd c. CE and the ceramic vats (dolia defossa) needed to mature and store the estate's vintages. A scientific analysis of the clay used to make the dolia has revealed their likely place of manufacture to have been in Latium or on the border between Latium and Campania on the Tyrrhenian (west) coast of Italy. With these analytical results in hand, it is now possible to inquire into the historical and economic significance for the imperial fiscus of importing dolia for wine making in the vicus at Vagnari, the route and mechanisms by which they might have traveled to the other side of the Italian peninsula, and the connectivity between this Apulian imperial estate and other potential imperial properties in western Italy. This places the present study at the intersection of agriculture, manufacturing, and property transfer within the patrimonium Caesaris.

本文重点介绍公元2世纪在意大利东南部瓦格纳里的罗马帝国庄园建立酒厂。CE 和陶瓷大桶 (dolia defossa) 需要成熟和储存庄园的葡萄酒。对用于制作 dolia 的粘土进行的科学分析表明，它们的制造地点可能位于 Latium 或位于意大利第勒尼安（西）海岸的 Latium 和坎帕尼亚之间的边界。有了这些分析结果，现在就有可能探究帝国财政在 Vagnari 的 vicus 进口多利亚用于酿酒的历史和经济意义，以及他们可能前往另一边的路线和机制。意大利半岛，以及这个阿普利亚帝国庄园与意大利西部其他潜在的帝国财产之间的联系。
