Discover the culinary habits of ancient Romans has long been a topic of great interest. Lovers of fine cuisine, in addition to discovering the old ways, are delighted to cook, taste and enjoy foods and beverages that the ancient Romans used to prepare for their own meals. In Ancient Rome they used to eat three meals a day: jentaculum (our breakfast), the prandium (our lunch) and coena (our dinner).The first meal, jentaculum, was very similar to our breakfast, eaten in the early hours of the morning. It was a simple and light meal of bread, cheese, dried fruit, honey, milk and wine, which was spiced with bread. The poorest people used to take the first simple meal of bread soaked in milk or wine.Shortly before noon, the second meal (prandium) was consumed on the day. This meal was eaten quickly and it was a cold meal based on legumes, vegetables, fruit and fish.

The cuisine of Ancient Rome was based mainly on the evening meal, the last meal of the day: the coena.Poorest families ended their day with a simple meal of beans and vegetables. For the noble families, however, the dinner was a time of fun, dialogue and meeting of family members, friends, protectors.
