A Brief History of Traditional Roman Food
In the time of Caesar Augustus, the Romans ate very differently from us. Sweet flavors were combined in main dishes such as soups and game dishes. Anchovies were used as a seasoning, to give more flavor to food. But before the time of the emperors (753 BC – 27 BC), ancient Roman food was more similar to today's food. The ancestors of the Romans (Latins, Carpenatos, Faliscos) were farmers and shepherds, so their way of cooking was simple and intelligent. Like shepherd's bread, stuffed with cheese and meat, something that was created to last for many hours during travel. Or Gricia, ancestor of Amatriciana. Gricia is a simple homemade pasta sauce, combining guanciale (pork jowl or cheek bacon) and aged pecorino cheese.
