Résumé
This article analyzes the cereals’ storage in the Vesuvius country villae rusticae, destroyed by the eruption in 79 AD. A synthetic history of studies about this region and a presentation of roman agronomic texts about granaries, barns and threshing floors, precede sites’ catalogue. Villas and rural settlements which have cereal’s storage or treatment areas are reported in this section, and carpological, vegetal and epigraphical records are considered, as well. The following synthesis is divided in three sections, analyzing storage areas, the impact of the ceramic containers and threshing floors that, in this region, are often associated to nearly located barns and granaries. Regarding granaries and barns, the author sets up a preliminary typology and suggests theoretical calculations of storage volume. In conclusion, the author considers the contribution of this article to studies about agricultural production of fertile soil of towns near Vesuvius during Late Republican and First Imperial Age.
