Archaeological materials from the Mediterranean world in Southeast Asia are scarce and their social context and cultural implications are rarely considered, while objects in Mediterranean style are often misinterpreted or overlooked. Concomitant to the increasing implementation of laboratory analysis, the range of new evidence, especially coming from recently excavated sites in Thailand and Myanmar, along with the reinterpretation of earlier data now brings the potential to compare different regions, and to discuss possible variations in terms both of the diversity and density of Roman materials. This study includes Mediterranean imports produced between the last centuries bce and first centuries ce, as well as Asia-produced inspired objects that integrate Mediterranean elements to varying degrees, combining new data and re-analysed materials. The paper not only contributes to building the sequence of cultural exchanges, but also interprets in cultural terms the varying Mediterranean elements present.

来自东南亚地中海世界的考古材料稀缺，其社会背景和文化含义很少被考虑，而地中海风格的物品常常被误解或忽视。随着实验室分析的不断增加，一系列新证据，特别是来自泰国和缅甸最近挖掘的遗址，以及对早期数据的重新解释，现在带来了比较不同地区的潜力，并讨论了这两个方面可能的变化。罗马材料的多样性和密度。这项研究包括公元前最后几个世纪到公元一世纪之间生产的地中海进口物品，以及亚洲生产的受启发的物品，这些物品在不同程度上融合了地中海元素，结合了新数据和重新分析的材料。该论文不仅有助于建立文化交流的序列，而且还从文化角度解释了不同的地中海元素。
