If you were an average #Roman, you would have had only basic facilities to cook in your apartment - so most Romans lived on takeaways. You may have popped along to your local Popina (Wine Bar) which usually had a limited menu of simple foods like olives, bread and stew.
For a more substantial takeaway menu, Romans could go to a #thermopolium (cook shop) - it offered a more varied fast food menu served at a counter - just like this one, the Thermopolium of Vetutius Placidus from Pompeii.
If you were in the Roman military, you may have had a cooking set that could enable you to cook over a fire. The one pictured here was recovered from #Trimontium and was used between 80-100AD by soldiers on the edge of the #Roman Empire in what is now the #ScottishBorders.
