Roman Dining (Fall 2003) brings together important, cutting-edge interdisciplinary work by scholars engaged in socio-archaeological work on food in the ancient world. Food, owing to its perishability, diversity and the ease with which it can be manipulated for social and political ends, is an amenable topic for scholarly analysis of all kinds. The articles in this volume illuminate the nature and function of this elemental yet highly complex social practice, offering a variety of approaches-historical, sociological, literary, cultural, material-to food and dining in the Roman world.
