Cleaning out some mail folders, I find this, which might be of interest to
some on this list. The thread is from Romarch late April 97 if anyone wants
to dredge all of it up from their archives; there may well have been more
to it.

>> I am currently doing research for a study on The History of Cheese.
>> Preliminary research says that by the time of the Roman Empire cheese was a
>> strong staple food and that many individual houses had a special cheese
>> making room as well as space for storage.
>>     I am looking for information about the consumption of cheese and
>> cheese-making during Ancient Roman times.  Thanks for any help you may
>> render.  Much appreciated.
