👉 The ammocetes are a type of Roman cuisine that originated in Rome and were popular during the late 1st century CE. They consisted of meat, bread, vegetables, and wine, which was served on a large flat dish called an ammocetus or ammophorous (from Greek words meaning "to cover" and "amphora"). They were typically eaten during celebrations such as Saturnalia and the Feast of the Seven Fishes.
