Description

Explore the vital connection between diet and power in Bloomsbury's A Cultural History of Food in Antiquity. Covering the period from Archaic Greece to the Late Roman Empire (c. 800 BCE to c. 500 CE), this volume examines how food functioned as a major element of politics, economics, and culture. Learn how the Mediterranean landscape shaped the production of essential crops like cereals, vines, and olives. The book details how the management of these food resources was tied to economic and political control, especially given the constant risk of crop failure. Beyond survival, this history investigates how dining and diet reflected social hierarchies. Discover how what people ate, when they ate, and who they dined with served as a way to express social roles and status throughout the ancient world.
