Petrified Roman bread from 79 CE. On the bread, there is an inscription: owned by Celer, slave of Q. Granius Verus . The find comes from Herculaneum (near Pompeii ) and dates back to the 1st century CE. What is worth emphasizing, the basic ingredient of Roman’s dinner was bread.
Bread made of different types of flour was distinguished: black bread (panis rusticus, plebeius ), white bread (panis secundaris ) and the finest luxury bread (panis candidus, uniform ).
