Recipes for a Roman Empire-Themed Dinner Party
We know the Roman Empire has been on your mind. Carpe diem and have some friends over for a dinner party inspired by the Roman Empire. Plan your menu with these recipes and discuss the frescoes uncovered in Pompeii (there was a pizza depicted in one of them!) Marvel at the tumultuous and impactful - yet brief- times under the rule of Julius Caesar. Share how interesting it is that historians think disease and pandemics were factors in the eventual fall of the Roman Empire. Maybe you all can also discuss why people can't stop thinking about the Roman Empire? Wherever the conversation goes, you know that the food will be delicious.
