  • Summary

    The exploration of this subject is based principally onepigraphic evidence, as illustrated in Hatzfeld’sground-breaking work of 1919, to which may now beadded the epigraphy of production and commerce,which goes hand in hand with trade and to which itowes its existence. The case studied here deals withthe most westerly part of the Mediterranean,providing access to the continent through thenetwork of routes from the areas around theAquitaine isthmus and the Rhône isthmus as far asthe Rhine and Garonne basins and out to the AtlanticOcean. It looks at dynamic trends, phenomena whichvary over time, just as contexts and economiccircumstances may vary. These trends are integratedwithin the space formed by the routes created andused by people. The study deals with the commercialactivities related to the production, transportationand consumption of goods, as well as the networksand directions of trade routes. Ports are importantpoints of passage, places where goods aretransferred, stored and distributed, as well asbeing the principal or secondary places ofbusiness.

  • G. Woolf argues that the transformation of the aristocracies of Interior Gaul was not so much caused by the conquest itself as by the fact that from that point in time these aristocracies became involved in the transformations of Roman society following the introduction of the Principate and other subsequent changes in Roman politics (novel ways of elite competition and gaining popularitas). Tacitus discusses these developments at length. In addition, this process took place in a provincial area where outside interference was rare.
