Summary/Abstract: Archaaeobotanical research in the Roman villa at San Potito. Partly carbonated seeds testify that barley, millet, lentil, legumes, walnut and strawberry were planted in the territory that belonged to the villa. Grape and cereals, the remains of which were found in a small amount, were probably transported from elsewhere to the inhabitants of the villa located 1000 m high. This is suggested by the presence of the amphorae as well. Remains of wetland plants and fish scales were recovered by flotation; their presence was due to the vicinity of the Fucine Lake.
