Livia Drusilla
Appetizers in Ancient Rome
What was it like to dine with the Romans? Imagine sharing an evening meal some 2,000 years ago with Livia Drusilla, the wife of Augustus, first emperor of Rome. At the country home of this powerful hostess, dinner would likely begin with a rich array of savory starters, some familiar, others intriguingly different from modern European cuisine. |
