Program Description
Event Details
We're making Gladiator Puls!!
Gladiators ate a mostly vegetarian diet of porridge, as mentioned by the physician Galen, the poet Juvenal, and Pliny the Elder. This recipe is reconstructed from their writings and contemporary recipes for fancier porridges from Apicius and Cato the Elder. Learn about their diets as we try ancient foods!
