There was not/there is not a Roman peninsula. Rome was/is in the Italian peninsula. Italy has Alpine and Mediterranean flora. Commons trees are the Alpine pines larches, firs, Mediterranean pines, almond trees, apple trees, beeches, chestnuts, fig trees, grape vines, hazelnut trees, junipers, myrtles, oaks, olive trees, pear trees, pistachios and walnut trees.

Some fruit trees which grow well in the Mediterranean were introduced form Asia and Africa: apricot trees (form Armenia) cherry trees (form Turkey) lemon trees (from India) melons (form Africa), peach tree (from India) damson plum trees (from Syria) quinces and pomegranates (both from Africa).

There were no orange trees in the Roman days and no tomatoes. They were introduced later.
