Abstract
Coastal area of Eastern Adriatic was very suitable for planting of olive tree and grapevine. During first decades after the Roman conquest, the whole coastal landscape was turned into economically prosperous units - villae rusticae.
In some of these villae, the evidences of production of olive oil and wine can be found. Among the archaeologically detected proofs of this important agricultural production belong not only a pressing room with different equipment (fruit mill, pressing device), but also a warehouse for finished product (cella olearia / vinaria).
This paper will provide a comprehensive map of spread of all known Roman sites linked to the production of olive oil/wine in period from beginning of 1st century AD till end of 6th century AD in the territory bounded by river Arsia (Raša, Croatia) on the north and by city of Lissos (Lezhë, Albania) on the south, with sites today located in Bosnia and Herzegovina included. This map clearly disproves old theories about a small scale of olive oil/wine production in Dalmatia.
