The study examines the role of Corinth, Magna Graecia and Etruria in the production and trade networks of perfumes in the ancient Mediterranean. Corinth established itself as a driving force thanks to its ceramics industry and the production of perfumed oils. The Magna Graecia colonies acted as mediators between the Greek and Italic worlds, promoting the circulation of goods and knowledge. Etruria, part of a large commercial network, welcomed and reworked these prestigious products. The result is a dynamic picture of economic and cultural interactions, highlighting the active role of these territories in the Mediterranean network.

Abstract

The study examines the role of Corinth, Magna Graecia and Etruria in the production and trade networks of perfumes in the ancient Mediterranean. Corinth established itself as a driving force thanks to its ceramics industry and the production of perfumed oils. The Magna Graecia colonies acted as mediators between the Greek and Italic worlds, promoting the circulation of goods and knowledge. Etruria, part of a large commercial network, welcomed and reworked these prestigious products. The result is a dynamic picture of economic and cultural interactions, highlighting the active role of these territories in the Mediterranean network.
