伊利西塔努斯港（皮科拉，阿利坎特）是罗马殖民地尤利亚伊利西奥古斯塔的主要海港，因此在伊比利亚半岛的基本商品供应中发挥着至关重要的作用。在四世纪和五世纪早期的发掘中发现了大量玻璃。通过激光烧蚀-电感耦合等离子体-质谱法 (LA-ICP-MS) 对 60 个样品进行元素分析，证实这些玻璃是从东地中海进口的。大部分玻璃属于 HIMTa 主要生产组，该组源自埃及。对 589 个 HIMT 眼镜已发表数据的统计评估进一步揭示了东地中海和西地中海之间 HIMTa 和 HIMTb 亚型的差异分布模式，表明与更广泛的地缘政治变化相关的时间趋势。这表明需要采用系统性的大规模方法来确定供应模式以及地理差异和/或时间发展的可能因素。
Portus Ilicitanus (Picola, Alicante) was the main sea harbour of the Roman Colonia Iulia Ilici Augusta and as such played a crucial role in the supply of fundamental commodities to the Iberian Peninsula. Excavations yielded large quantities of glass in fourth- and early fifth-century contexts. Elemental analysis of 60 samples by laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) confirmed that the glasses were imported from the Eastern Mediterranean. A majority of the glasses correspond to the HIMTa primary production group, which originates from Egypt. The statistical evaluation of published data of 589 HIMT glasses further revealed differential distribution patterns of the HIMTa and HIMTb subtypes between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, suggesting chronological trends that are linked to wider geopolitical changes. This demonstrates the need for systematic large-scale approaches to identify supply patterns and possible factors underlying geographical differences and/or chronological developments.
