Abstract (EN): My intention in this paper is to present, through the analysis of amphorae found in the city, some of the most striking aspects in the trade existent between the city and northern Africa and eastern Mediterranean at the time of the late Roman period and early Byzantine period. Other materials of the same origin will also be referred to better contextualize that trade and underline the long lasting insertion of Bracara Augusta in the context of the “Roman World”, probably, beyond the disappearance of the institutional bond to the Empire.
