Wine drinking in the beer region. The case of the roadside station of Žuta Lokva (Lika, Croatia)

The site Žuta Lokva is situated in the hinterland of the Roman province Dalmatia, in its northern part. Before the arrival of Romans, the occupants of the region were the Illyrian tribe Iapodians. Traditionally, it is considered a beer country since it was a typical Iapodian drink. A roadside station at Žuta Lokva has been operating since the beginning of the 1st CE to the middle of 2nd CE. A large presence of pottery utensils associated with the custom of drinking wine is documented. Specially it refers to Sarius-type cups, thin-walled pottery but most notably to the presence of Dressel 2-4 amphorae from the island of Kos and Adriatic amphorae with a flat bottom (Sant’Arcangelo, Crikvenica 1).
