BeRo Flour. Roman Food. Roman food mosaic.Vatican. 2005.© Sue Schenk This entry is about food in Rome, the ancient empire. There will be at some point a different entry on food in modern-day Rome, the city.

Romans had many minor influences on their food -- as food came in from various parts of the expanding empire -- and perhaps two major influences. Much of Roman food was based on combining sweet, sour and savoury tastes all in one dish, just as Chinese food still does today. Roman Cookbooks Roman Meals.
