Ancient armies traveled with wine transported in amphorae. The remains of these amphorae can often shed light on processes and impacts of military provisioning as well as on the narrative and impacts of particular battles and wars. For example, the Roman general Manlius Vulso rapaciously crisscrossed Anatolia in the early 2nd BC ending up at Gordion. A large number of amphorae have been found at that site just a the period of his arrival. These, most likely, indicate both the source and path of his supply lines.
