Springfield Twp. Library Presents – Foods of Ancient Rome with Dr. Steve

The food choices of ancient Egypt carried over into ancient Greece and ancient Rome. This presentation continues our culinary journey exploring Foods in Ancient Egypt and the Ancient Mediterranean World. Archaeological data is obtained from ancient wall and tomb paintings, for example, from Pompeii, along with actual archaeological finds, illustrate this lecture to introduce the diet of ancient Rome, what we know and how we know it. Roman food variability and eating habits, like those of ancient Egypt, were far more sophisticated than one might think. Pass the garum, please! Registration is required.
