Resumo (PT): ES; En este trabajo se presenta una perspectiva de los contextos militares y civiles a través de las ánforas entre los periodos sertoriano y post-sertoriano no occidente de la península ibérica. En este momento se han operado varios procesos de transferencia cultural, asociados al establecimiento y mantenimiento de un frente de guerra mediante el asentamiento de campamentos y guarniciones militares en poblados hispanos. Estas acciones han implicado el comercio y la logística destinados al suministro de tropas en campaña. Para entender mejor estos fenómenos ofrecemos una lectura diacrónica de diferente horizontes crono-tipológicos, asociados a distintos patrones comerciales y de consumo: entre ellos, el suministro segmentado de productos durante periodo sertoriano y la existencia de mercados organizados de abastecimiento en momento post-sertoriano, estando este proceso asociado al ascenso de las elites en el sur de Iberia.

Abstract (EN): This study examines Roman amphorae from military and civilian contexts between the Sertorian and post-Sertorian periods in the western Iberian Peninsula. In this context, various phenomena of cultural transfer occurred, associated with the establishment and maintenance of a war front through the construction of camps and military garrisons in indigenous settlements. These developments would have involved trade and logistics aimed at supplying troops on campaign. To better understand these phenomena, we provide a diachronic reading of different chrono-typological horizons, associated with distinct trade and consumption patterns: namely, the segmented supply of products during the Sertorian period and the existence of organised supply markets in the post-Sertorian period, the latter being associated with the rise of elites in southern Iberia.
