E-book Ancient Olive Presses and Oil Production In Cyrenaica (North-East Libya)
Previous works on ancient olive oil and wine produc-tion in the ancient Mediterranean (Frankel 1999; Brun 2003b, 2004) and North Africa (Mattingly 1985; 1988a-d; 1993; 1994; 1995; 2009; Mattingly and Hitchner 1993) have broadened our knowledge on specifications, tech-niques and scale of production of Roman presses. These works discuss how this significantly contributed to the success of the Roman economy and long-distance trade. They also provided important information for larger debates about the overall Roman economy and the most dynamic exporting areas in the ancient Mediterranean. The scale of production and the export of olive oil in the Mediterranean was accompanied by technological developments and regionalised technologies.
