History

• A stabilized version of a European F1 hybrid bred 'to have the meatiness of a Roma but the sweet flavor of a grape tomato'.
• The name means 'the Roman world' or the 'Roman spirit'.
• The original seed was saved by Ted Buila of Silverdale, Washington, from a fruit purchased in Europe in 2008.
• F2 and F3 generations grown by Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T) shows no segregation, so it must be stable.
