Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to assess the challenges in understanding the stamp phenomenon in dolia, particularly focusing on vessels bearing two stamps. Along with the suggestion of a hypothesis regarding the purpose of these stamps, the study provides a description of the marked sherds from the Catalan region. Beyond the formal description, an attempt is made to associate the individuals linked with these stamps with those referenced in the monumental epigraphy of the cities of Barcino and Tarraco, as well as in amphorae epigraphy. Although most of the stamps presented have been previously published, this paper focuses on the occurrence of double stamping, seeking to interpret its significance and present some previously unpublished marks.
