The stamp of the shoemakers’ guild in Szadek was made at the beginning of the 19th century, in accordance with legal regulations of 1816, which reorganized craftsmen’s guilds in the Kingdom of Poland. These regulations, in force throughout the whole 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, defined the structure and the way of managing a guild, professional competences of masters and craftsmen, and rules for professional advance. The regulations of 1816 also affected the shape and functions of craftsmen’s stamps. Under these rules, a guild was governed by a board of elders, which was reflected in the legends of the stamps. The term “profession” to refer to the work of craftsmen was introduced at that time. The legend of the seal of the shoemakers’ guild in Szadek speaks about “the shoemakers’ profession”. As regards the appearance of craftsmen’s stamps, they differed from other official stamps (e.g. those of administrative authorities) of the Kingdom of Poland in that they contained elements representative of particular “professions”. In the case of Szadek shoemakers’ it was a high boot with a heel spur, a knife and an awl. This stamp was evidently carved by a very skilful engraver. It is now part of the collection of the Sieradz Museum.

The article presents an analysis of the amphora material from the excavation of grave no. 2 of the Scythian burial mound no. 7 near the village of Crihana Veche in the Republic of Moldova. In the burial mound of the local aristocrat, which was twice robbed in ancient times, along with the remnants of ornaments, weapons, and other objects used in the funeral ceremony, fragments of Greek amphorae were found (both in the burial and in the grave goods), which belonged to only one Greek center of production – Thasos. More than 27 Thasian amphorae in which expensive wine was brought in, as well as other ritual funerary objects, indicate that the man buried there had a special position in the local hierarchy. Also important for research are five amphora stamps on the handles of the Thasian amphorae, which confirm the dating of amphora fragments and indicate the exact sequence of activity of two Thasian magistrates, which previously did not have a basis of support. This funerary complex is singular for the fact that only Thasian amphorae of the same type were found in the burial (usually Heraclean amphorae were put in Scythian burials), which indicates the uniqueness of this complex in the territory between the Prut and Dniester Rivers, and the north-west Black Sea region as a whole.

During the period of the Republic, the viniculture of the Pyrenean Peninsula supplied wine for the local needs. When Rome had become Empire, wine production grew to a massive scale, which is attested to by numerous discoveries of amphorae from Spain both in Hispania Tarraconensis and other provinces in the western Mediterranean. In the 1st cent. AD, Spanish wine monopolised the market in the region. Towards the end of the 1st cent. AD, agricultural production in Hispania Tarraconensis was reorganised – vine was replaced with cereal. The early 2nd cent. AD saw discontinuation of business in most centres of ceramic production and disappearance of Roman villas whose main profits came from vineyards.

The article describes the role of southern Gaul in the production and trade of wine, with particular consideration for the Gauloise flat-bottomed amphorae produced in this area. It provides a brief outline of the history of this area of Mediterranean basin, shaped by the political and economic activities of several Mediterranean peoples – Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Etruscans and Romans. It discusses the types of archaeological sites where the remains of amphorae for Gallic wine were discovered, exemplary stamps characteristic of southern Gaul and the influence of the Romans on the emergence and development of the culture of producing and consuming wine in southern Gaul
