Dinamiche e traffici commerciali nella città e nel territorio di Hipponion/Vibo Valentia tra VI-III sec. a.C. attraverso lo studio delle anfore: Nell?ambito dell?VIII edizione FACEM, il presente contributo si propone di presentare i dati preliminari relativi alle produzioni locali/regionali ed all?importazione di anfore provenienti dalla città e dal territorio di Hipponion - Vibo Valentia nel periodo compreso tra il VI e il III sec. a.C. Uno studio completo sulle produzioni anforiche per questo territorio, allo stato attuale, non è stato affrontato ancora in modo del tutto esaustivo, tuttavia l?analisi preliminare dei materiali relativi soltanto ad alcune aree campioni studiate, permette di affermare che la città di Hipponion - Vibo Valentia si presenta assai vitale e ben inserita nei traffici commerciali, pur nel lungo periodo esaminato.
