EUH 3673 Food and Drink in Classical Antiquity (Department of History)
Dr. Davide Tanasi
From Prehistory through the information age, food has been the foundation of economies. Dating back to 100 CE, Roman poet Juvenal measured popular support for the emperor by his ability to provide 鈥渂read and circuses鈥�, and now even in 2020, debate rages in the U.S. about who is impoverished enough to receive food stamps. The consumption of food is an unbroken reality of human history. It has touched everyone regardless of age, gender, race, class, or nationality. Despite this continuity of consumption, much has changed from how the ancient Romans baked their bread to how we purchase ours at the nearest Publix. Using written, iconographic and archaeological sources combined with contributions from biomolecular chemistry, this course will focus on material culture of food (aka materiality of food) in Graeco-Roman cultures.
