SPQR Bread!!!

Yes, a post about bread! PBS regularly airs a program called, "Secrets of the Dead." An episode called, "Herculaneum Uncovered" recently aired. Herculaneum was a Roman era sister-city to Pompeii that was also completely destroyed and covered by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The hosts go deep behind the scenes showing areas and artifacts not accessible to the public. One of the coolest things they have is a Roman loaf of bread that is almost 2,000 years old. Pretty unique archaeological finding, no? You can see the whole program here. You can view the loaf of bread at the beginning of chapter 3. It is worth checking out.
