in the gallic provinces the first examples of roman amphorae were local imitations of pre-existent types such as dressel 1, dressel 2–4, pascual 1, and haltern 70. the more typical gallic production begins within the ceramic ateliers in marseille during the late augustan times. the type oberaden 74 was produced to such an extent that it influenced the production of some italic types. spanish amphorae became particularly popular thanks to a flourishing production phase in the late republican times. the ' and ' regions (south-western and eastern spain) were the main production areas between the 2nd and the 1st century bc thanks to the land distribution to the veterans and the founding of new colonies. the spanish amphorae were widely spread in the mediterranean during the early imperial times. the most common types were all produced in the baetica and among these there was the dressel 20, typical olive oil container, the dressel 7–13, for garum, and the haltern 70, for the defrutum, fruit sauce. in the tarraconensis region the pascual 1 was the most common type, a wine amphora shaped onto the dressel 1, and imitations of dressel 2–4.
