The barrels were made of silver fir (Abies alba). They used saplings (e.g hazelnut) for the hoops and grass to tie them

Do you know what the wood is and what the hoops are made of?

XXL transport containers: Two huge #Roman wooden barrels in an outstanding state of preservation, found in Xanten. Both had a capacity of approx. 1250 l and were used to transport #wine from the Mediterranean region to the Lower Rhine. They were recycled for lining wells. 🧵1/2 📷️me
