Although I've been baking most of my life, I've not really seen any
references for period breads.  Since I'm new to this list I've missed any
that were previously mentioned.  If you would be so kind as to send me a
list of references, and to let me know how I might actually obtain any of
them living as I do way off the road system in north western Alaska (read:
no book stores, and an inadequate library)...  That Roman one sounds
interesting too, at least if there is a translation since I don't read more
than a few words of Latin.
