摘要：This research is part of a larger project on the study of the faunal remains collected during the excavations at the Ss. Quattro Coronati Monastery (Rome). Such remains cover a wide chronological range, from the Early Middle Ages to the 17th century, when different religious communities lived successively in this area. The present work will focus on a sample of materials referable to the beginning of the 17th century when the monastery was occupied by the Augustinian nuns and by the orphans they were taking care of. The data obtained from this site will allow to add further details to our knowledge on the diet in monastic contexts in the urban area of Rome.
