The Halasarna Workshop on Cos Island reveals insights into Late Antique (5th-7th c.) imperial policy via stamped amphorae. Research finds LRA 1 stamps marked at city level, LRA 13 at state level, under imperial oversight. Excavations show Cos’s quaestor exercitus controlled LRA 13 production, offering key historical and archaeological context.
