[Sca-cooks] period piadina?

I wonder how far back this piadina goes? Could it be period? We've
talked before about how most of the ingredients for a sandwich or
a hamburger existed in period, but they don't seem to have been
made. This piadina sounds similar to a sandwich. Does anyone have
any evidence for wrap-like things with a flat bread of some type
being period?

Did no one think of what we would call a sandwich or wrap in period?
Or was there something that took it's place in their minds? Or was
there something that made a sandwich impractical in those times and
cultures? Or some humoral or other bit of philosophy that would have
worked against the "sandwich" being done in period?
