Patras and its district were self-sufficient in agricultural products during the roman years. That is concluded by the existence of the farms dated in this period. Types of the farmsteads are the villa urbana in the city, the villa suburbana in the suburbs and the villa rustica in the countryside. During the roman period in Patras we meet the three above types of the farmhouses. It is reasonable that as long as in the roman period the city of Patras was limited in size many farmsteads have found today inside the modern city. The rural installations are consisted of a central court, the storerooms, the workrooms with wine (fig. 26) or olive presses, the grain mills around it, other auxiliary rooms with the necessary equipment as looms and the separated graves. They produced wine, oil, wheat and flour, they took advantage of the meat of the cows, sheeps and pigs and the wool.
