This article is presenting a synthesis about italic ovoid amphora found in Toulouse area. Two major productions were identified, containers from the Tyrrhenian coast workshops, and those from Brindisi region on the Adriatic coast. If the last ones have for sure transported oil, we do not yet know what was the content of the first ones. Many questions remain to be answered about these Tyrrhenian productions, but this article provides for the first time a review of the discoveries in context of consumption in Gaul during the last two centuries BC.
