This essay takes a broad approach to the phenomenon of wine production in the Roman Layetania of the High Empire, approaching the problem by taking into account the interweaving of all its constituent elements. Wine production in the region is analysed in terms of its social and historical framework: forms of land ownership, social landscape, territorial organisation, the legal status of the cities – especially in the case of the Roman colony of Barcino – as well as the historical and political context of the 1st-2nd centuries AD and its consequences in relation to the imperial economy.
