Food is an excellent medium through which to explore trade, economies, migration and landscapes, yet little is known about food production and consumption in the Roman province of Pannonia. Here we explore the current evidence for agriculture, trade and diet in southern Pannonia (modern day eastern Croatia) and what this may say about life in the region. The influx of new ‘exotic’ foods and technologies had a profound influence on this region. The limited archaeobotanical data suggests complex trade and local agricultural systems that allowed large towns such as Mursa , Cibalae and Siscia to gain access to a wide range of food items. The large quantities of pottery found not only helps us understand traded goods but also the local tastes and fashions, as well as to infer the types of dishes that could have been cooked. More evidence is clearly needed in this region but what we can see so far is that urban centres along the Danube Limes were firmly integrated within the wider Roman food system and that diets were probably quite varied for many who lived there.

公元1至4世纪南潘诺尼亚（克罗地亚）的罗马食品体系

粮食是探索贸易，经济，移民和景观的绝佳媒介，但对罗马潘诺尼亚省的粮食生产和消费知之甚少。在这里，我们探索了Pannonia南部（克罗地亚东部现代日）农业，贸易和饮食的最新证据以及这可能对该地区的生活产生什么影响。新的“外来”食品和技术的涌入对该地区产生了深远的影响。有限的考古植物数据表明，复杂的贸易和当地的农业系统使诸如Mursa，Cibalae和Siscia之类的大城镇能够获取各种食品。发现的大量陶器不仅有助于我们了解贸易商品，还有助于我们了解当地的口味和时尚，并可以推断出可以烹制的菜肴类型。
