The present paper includes the study on amphorae and amphorae fragments that have been found in Delos excavation until 2000 and the history of the wine trade in the Eastern Mediterranean, and During the Late Hellenistic period and the times that Roman domination over Delos is stronger, they constructed the Roman Quarter, the Italian Agora (market) and many other monuments. The archaeological findings indicate the dynamic presence of Romans from the middle of the 3rd century BC. to 69 BC., when the island destroyed by the pirates of Athinodoros.When the port of Delos was declared free from paying tributes to the Romans, in combination with the destruction of Corinth (146 BC), the result was the emergence of the holy island as the largest transit center of the Aegean products and one of the most important ports of E. Mediterranean. The existence of a large number of Roman amphorae and fragments (insealed handles, lips et al.) testify to the significant presence of the Roman community on the island and its preferences in products, mostly imported from the regions of Italy and the Dalmatian coasts, by limiting the trade of the famous Greek wines.The analytical results of the materials which have been found in the amphorae (five types: Lamb2, Dressel 1a, b, c, Dressel 2-4, Brindisi and Greco-Italic) that we study on, showed that their content was usually wine, and in some cases it was oil or fish sauce.
