Mustard plants
There were some varieties of mustard plants in Hellenistic (Greek Ἑλληνιστής (Hellēnistḗs, "one who uses the Greek language") ca 323 BCE into the Roman Empire (Latin: Imperium Rōmānum) 27 BCE-AD/CE 395.
The wild forms of mustard and its relatives, the radish and turnip, can be found over west Asia and Europe, which might indicate that domestication took place somewhere in those areas.
