This is actually both ancient Greek and Roman food/cook book that I bought
from the Getty Museum a few months ago.

"The Classicak Cookbook" by Andrew Dalby & Sally Grainger, ISBN:
0-89236-394-0.  It sites its sources from anciet literature and it goes into
detail how to make the stuff (modern recipes).  I haven't made anything from
this book yet, but it looks VERY cool to me.  Recipes range from 750 BC to
AD 450...about 50 recipes.  I think I paid around $30 for it, but I can't
remember.  You should be able to find it on Amazon.com.  I highly recommend
it!
