We prove that second order Hamiltonian systems $ -\ddot{u} = V_{u}(t,u) $ with a potential $ V\colon \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} ^N\to \mathbb{R} $ of class $ C^1 $, periodic in time and superquadratic at infinity with respect to the space variable have subharmonic solutions. Our intention is to generalise a result on subharmonics for Hamiltonian systems with a potential satisfying the global Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition from [14]. Indeed, we weaken the latter condition in a neighbourhood of $ 0\in \mathbb{R} ^N $. We will also discuss when subharmonics pass to a nontrivial homoclinic orbit.

Keywords: Periodic solution, Lagrangian system, critical point, homoclinic orbit.
