Summary
Chapter 3 juxtaposes practices of grain and wine storage before and after Roman conquest in the northwest Mediterranean. It finds resonances between the open-ended future enacted by Iron Age grain storage in silos and Roman-period wine storage in dolia, and contrasts this with the controlled future facilitated by the Italian practice of above-ground grain storage, as implemented in the new urban colonial network.
