Summary/Abstract: The article selects from among the amphoric stamps of Rhodes discovered in Callatis and published over time those of periods I and II according to the chronology established by Finkielsztejn in 2001. This selection led to corrections in the reading or identification of certain homonyms. We analyze the position of the names in the periods, the typology, the frequency on the Callatian market, any chronological references subsequent to the publication of Finkielsztejn, the situation of imports from nearby colonies and the territory. The "peak period" of Rhodian imports falls between ca. 270-247 BC AD, which separates Callatis from the rest of the West Pontic colonies. For the rest of the period - 246-199 BC. J. -C. -, the data compared to the situation in the territory are subject to interpretation.
