The Tastes of Ancient Rome: Exploring Posca and Boiled Lard
As we dive into the culinary practices of ancient Rome, one might be surprised by some of the ingredients that were staples in the diet of a Roman legionary. Today, we focus on two key elements: posca, a sour beverage often compared to modern sports drinks, and boiled lard, a hearty and practical food for soldiers. This exploration is part of a themed series dedicated to ancient Roman recipes in conjunction with the release of Total War: Rome Remastered.
