      ab: Wine production in the late antique Levant depended on the existence of large internal and overseas markets. Estate owners and farmers reacted to the fl ourishing late antique wine market by investing heavily in the land.

The phenomenon thus provides a glimpse of the pace of technological development at least partly driven by market conditions and the spread of technology in the countryside.
