De re coquinaria

Isicia omentata, a kind of burger described in a Roman cookery book by Marcus Gavius Apicius is only one of many antique dishes you can prepare in the comfort of your own home.

Instructions: Mix minced meat with the soaked french roll. Ground spices and mix into the meat. Form small burgers and put pine kernels and peppercorns into them. Put them into baking foil and grill them together with Caroenum.

Just as I was wondering where I can find some Romans to invite to dinner I remembered this:

"Ariel: For 2 years, 900 jews held their own against 15000 Roman Soldiers, in the Massada. They wouldn't give up. Where are the Romans now, huh?

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You're looking at them, asshole."

... I guess I am the Roman. :D
