Delve into the opulent world of ancient Rome as this study unveils a captivating aspect of Roman wealth display during the first through fourth centuries AD. While scholars have extensively explored Roman art, particularly paintings and mosaics, few have traced the visual representations of the entire process of food production and consumption from the field to the table.In this groundbreaking work, the author fills a significant gap in historical scholarship by meticulously collecting and analyzing depictions found in homes, shops, and tombs that illustrate the planting, harvesting, transport, and acquisition of food. Drawing on evidence from both visual art and written sources, this study offers a comprehensive exploration of economic life and social status in the imperial era.
