Sažetak
Extensive trade routes were established between the various parts of the Roman Empire after the territories of the provinces of Dalmatia and Pannonia had been conquered. Amphorae were used as storage containers for the transport of food items required to meet the needs of the settled Roman soldiers and their following families. The published finds of amphorae from Roman military sites on the Danube and the Delmataean limes will be discussed here. The contents and provenance of the amphorae were analyzed, giving us insight into the dietary habits of Roman soldiers and the origin of the imported items. Based on the finds, the troops stationed here mostly consumed wine from southern and northern Italy, southern Hispania and the Aegean region. Apart from wine, they also consumed large amounts of olive oil imported from southern and northern Italy, the Aegean Islands, Hispania and Istria. Fish products were shipped from Hispania, and dried fruit was imported from the eastern Mediterranean region and from southern and northern Italy.
