According to the evidence of finds, the building was destroyed by fire around the first quarter of the 1st cent. B. C. The assemblage mainly consists of Lamboglia 2 type amphorae produced in the central and northern Adriatic Sea. Furthermore, types from Sicily and the central Mediterranean, as well as local/regional amphorae of “Macedonian type” have also been recorded. The remarkably homogeneous assemblage provides significant archaeological evidence about the trade and distribution of products from Italy to the hinterland of Epirus. In addition, it highlights the importance of the harbor of Actium at the entrance of the Ambracian Gulf, before the foundation of Actia Nikopolis by Augustus in 28 B. C.
