Think fast food is a modern invention? Think again. Long before the Golden Arches, Ancient Romans were the masters of “grab-and-go” dining. Because most urban residents lived in crowded insulae (apartments) with no kitchens, they relied on the Thermopolium—the ancient world’s version of a fast food stall.
In this video, we explore a perfectly preserved Roman street food counter in Pompeii. From lentil stews and chickpeas to the infamous Garum (fermented fish sauce), discover how Roman history and ancient food culture shaped the way we eat today.
Preserved by the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD, these sites offer a rare look into the daily life of the Roman Empire.
