Food and Meals in Ancient Rome - Cultural Presentation
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
A detailed cultural presentation of the three diffrent meals the Romans had daily. About Rome The imperial successor to the republic lasted approximately 1400 years. The first two centuries of the empire's existence were a period of unprecedented political stability and prosperity known as the Pax Romana, or "Roman Peace". Following Octavian's victory, the size of the empire was dramatically increased. After the assassination of Caligula in 41, the senate briefly considered restoring the republic, but the Praetorian Guard proclaimed Claudius emperor instead. Under Claudius, the empire invaded Britannia, its first major expansion since Augustus. After Claudius' successor, Nero, committed suicide in 68, the empire suffered a period of brief civil wars, as well as a concurrent major rebellion in Judea, during which four different legionary generals were proclaimed emperor. Vespasian emerged triumphant in 69, establishing the Flavian dynasty, before being succeeded by his son Titus, who opened the Colosseum shortly after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. His short reign was followed by the long reign of his brother Domitian, who was eventually assassinated. The senate then appointed the first of the Five Good Emperors. The empire reached its greatest extent under Trajan, the second in this line. Link to the interactive video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-xPN...

Did you have a British parent or live for some time in the UK. You speak English like a UK citizen. Oh, by the way, I think your Italian sounds better than your Classical Italian. Your Italian sounded smoother, and you seemed more at ease with it.

I disagree with your pronunciation of your C's. you use a soft c, but it should be a hard c like a k. Also the ae sound should sound like ai

How were the Romans not total fatasses with all the bread they ate?
-
Is it correct threat the suffix "um" in Latin is pronounced like "oo" meaning the "m" is silent?
-
I disagree, that common Romans ate a lot of bread. My last state of knowledge is, that the staple food was a grain mush.

In Spanish when we invite people over to eat, we call it "convivio" LOL the word survived

No, is isn't accurate! I've watched Spartacus and if the slaves weren't killing everybody, the Romans were fucking everything with a heartbeat. lol
