What Was the Weirdest Food Romans Actually Ate?

From stuffed dormice and fermented fish guts to flamingo tongues and an extinct North African seasoning plant, this documentary explores the real, well-documented delicacies and everyday foods of ancient Rome. Drawing on sources like Pliny the Elder, Apicius, Varro, Columella, and Petronius, it follows the enslaved cooks, fishermen, bakers, and farmers whose labor made Rome's strangest and most ordinary meals possible. #AncientHistory #RomanHistory #AncientRome
