Water

Romans were the first to develop a system of waterways called aqueducts, which supplied cities with water.

Food

Staples included corn or grain, oil and wine.

Husked wheat was used for porridge and bread.

Bread was often eaten with cheese, honey, fruit, sausage, shellfish, fish, eggs, game, fowl, oysters, pork, dormice, or snails.

Sweets included tarts, pastries and cakes.

Food was often baked in a circular oven, cooked by cauldrons hanging from chains , or via vessels fixed onto gridirons.

Meat was often broiled.

Vinegar was frequently used in cooking.

Hope this helps!
