At this time of year, many of us are thinking about food and entertainment. Food and dining were also important features of the ancient cultures that lived around the Mediterranean. Foods—or images of food—were used as economic tools, as religious devices, and as social mechanisms. In this tour, we will look at artifacts demonstrating the variety of ways that food was used in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome.
