Sumario:[EN] Although archaeological research focusing on the Roman period in Iberia has been enormous and of high quality, and there is an increasing body of data regarding many aspects of the daily life of the Iberian Roman communities, very little attention has been paid to archaeobotany in these contexts. Therefore, this paper discusses the use of plants in the Iberian Peninsula during the Roman period from the study of plant remains (seeds and fruits) from archaeological sites. It takes into consideration both cultivated and wild plants as well as the various productive spaces that were exploited and/or managed at the time. By looking at the various plant categories (cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, etc..), this study provides information on the practice of agriculture, arboriculture, horticulture as well as on the use of wild plants. Moreover, this work highlights the important role of archaeobotany to approach the study of diet, the cultivation of plants and the role of plants in human subsistence.
