There has been different version of where apple originated from. Some would say apples came from Rome, while most would say that it came from Asia. While there is both truth in both answers, it differs greatly in two things: 1) Where apples originated from and 2) Who cultivated these apples and made it extremely popular.

To answer the first question, apples are known as malus pumila and it originated from Central Asia wherein its primary ancestor Malus siversii or wild apples can also be found. The Ancient Romans only stepped in the picture when they cultivated these wild apples into sweet and juicy fruits. Using the given information, it is just right to say that apples originated from Asia.
