Unele modificări privind datarea ştampilelor amforistice ale Rhodosului descoperite în mediul barbar al spaţiului nord-vest pontic
Some changes in the chronology of the Rhodos amphorae seals discovered in the barbarian surroundings of the Northwestern Pontic space

Summary/Abstract: A new chronological classification of the Rhodos seals, discovered at the barbarian sites from the Northwestern Pontic space and published initially in our monograph, is offered in the article.The Greek amphorae from the Northwestern Pontic barbarian surroundings of 6th- beginning of the 2nd centuries BC. The need to re-publish the Rhodos seals was motivated by the findings of the new investigations regarding the chronology of the Rhodesian sealed amphorae, which resulted in the elaboration of a new chronology by the Israeli researcher G. Finkielszteijn and which are accepted nowadays by most of the amphorologists as a working instrument. According to this chronology, the Rhodesian sealed amphorae’s appearance in the Northwestern Pontic barbarian surroundings occurs in the period of the 70ies-40ies of the 3rd century BC. The analysis of the Rhodos seals presented in this study makes possible affirming that the final date of the penetration of this Mediterranean center’ goods can be considered the second half of the 2nd century BC and not the beginning of the same century as regarded before.
