SC - Re: Apicius redux

[Terri Spencer]

Nova had a show a while back on Roman Baths that included food and
drink sold at the baths. I  didn't see the show, but I did find their
website (with recipes - mostly Apicius).  They quote Seneca writing
about noisy "cake sellers, the sausage man and confectioner" hawking
food to the bath patrons.
