The Ancient Roman menu had been my passion project for months, and now it was finally coming to life. Clay pots, brass goblets, roasted meats on wooden platters, honeyed ricotta pastries—the whole thing was rich, bold, and a little dangerous. Exactly the kind of story I loved telling through food.

“Do you know the connection, Miss Butler?” I nodded my head. I loved history, choosing fact or fiction most trips I took to the county library the last three years. I had read all about the Roman Empire, it’s leaders and their dynamics. “Okay, then. You all discuss it.

These places were built a long time ago,” I replied, trying to simplify it so they would understand.

Nor was I aware of how the whole world was changing in those times; every chess-piece, every square being ushered into place by a long arm and a whisper in the dark: {Imperium Romanum}. The port city of Puteoli was like a whole country unto itself, certainly world enough for a meager boy like me, what of all the merchants, ambassadors, sailors and soldiers from territories as distant and enchanted as Parthia and Aegyptus.
