However, it must not be forgotten that amphorae also supplied a luxury market with goods such as high quality wines. Long-distance trade flourished throughout the Roman Period, but because of the climatic uniformity of the Mediterranean, there was only need for certain type of items: primarily subsistence and luxury goods. The pattern and volume of this trade was largely dependent on the fluctuating climate of the Mediterranean. Sharp interannual fluctuations of rainfall created local gluts or shortages (Hopkins 1980). But mechanisms like the annona and the military were also influencing the exchange of goods and providing routes for their transport. (Tomber 1993).
