The ancient Greeks used to make what they call puls...a flat bread, cooked on 
hot rocks and used as a dish for eating other foods.  The Etruscans made a 
similar dish, onto which they had placed numerous Etruscan favorites (very 
similar to the modern pizza sans sauce).  All of my references are modern, 
however (The frugal gourmet cooks three ancient cuisines, Larousse 
Gastronomique, Table d'hote, etc...)
