SC - Early Period A&S Entries

This may help...Apicius, while done around the 4th century, was reprinted
over and over during the period considered appropriate for the SCA. Also,
someone told me once that during the Italian Renn, they'd dress up in togas
and do "re-enactment" feasts :).

If it was reprinted over and over, someone must have been reading it, no? I
think people are thinkin' "Ancient ROme? that's not medieval!" forgetting
that "roman" covers a huge spread of time and area.
