How did they get their food
The ancient Romans got their food by catching
fish, killing large and small animals to eat, also
by growing and selling crops.
This is a dish that ancient Romans love it’s called
Globuli
how your rank can effect
what you eat
Depending on your rank in society that’s the kind
of food you ate.
If you were in a lower rank you didn’t eat much you
only ate what you could get.
Also, when you were in a middle rank you didn’t
eat as much as you wanted
If you were in a high rank you ate good but you
didn’t have a feast.
If you were a king or goddess, you ate as much as
you wanted when you wanted.
What did they use to eat off of
The most widely used pottery was oil lamps,
bottles, pitchers, bowls and plates.
Eating times
Breakfast (the Romans called this jentaculum) was taken in the
master's bedroom and usually consisted of a slice of bread or a
wheat pancake eaten with dates and honey.
Lunch (the Romans called this prandium) was eaten at about 11.00
a.m. and consisted of a light meal of bread, cheese and
possibly some meat. In many senses, everything was geared
up towards the main meal of the day.
Cena. This was eaten in the late afternoon or early evening. If the
master of the house had no guests, cena might take about one
hour. If he did have guests, then this meal might take as long as
four hours.
