The roman meal: The eating routine of the Romans is quite similar to that of today. The Romans ate three meals per day. Breakfast (or ientaculum as the Romans called it) for the Romans was usually small and consisted of bread being dipped in watered down wine and sometimes would include dates and olives. Lunch (or prandium) was not regularly eaten by most Romans, but if it was it would usually consist of bread, fruit, cheese and leftovers from the previous nights meal. Supper(or cena) was the main meal of the Roman's day and was generally served in the late afternoon. What was eaten for supper varied among classes. The poor might only eat a simple meal of vegetables and olive oil whereas the rich could enjoy such luxuries as several course meals and exotic food and wine. However, the general Roman supper consisted of three courses.

Dear Friends,

eating in rome restaurant Mica Aurea

We are a team of archaeologists of Rome with the passion for the ancient Rome food. Few months ago we decided to transform our love for the History of Rome into a solid reality: we opened in the heart of the Eternal City the Restaurant MICA AUREA.

The name " Mica Aurea " means " Golden Crumb" and is related with the crumbs the Romans left on the floor of their houses as food for the underground Gods ( Mani ). The archaeological researches conducted under the ancient Rome soil demonstrated that the ancient Romans used natural ingredients when they prepared their meals.

Our restaurant in Rome is based on the recipes written in the second century A.D. by the latin writer Apicius.Roman banquets were much more than meeting places. They also were social centers where friends, families and business colleagues came to meet and eat.

So, when in Rome and once you'd like to spend your evening eating out, come to visit us and join the atmosphere of the ancient Rome daily life!!
