The history of food is an area of study that is increasingly attracting the attention of researchers. To know what we eat today, how we eat it and understand how these foods were adopted by mankind is to make the history of humanity. The Museum of Lisbon – Roman Theatre has prepared a set of lectures that address the theme of food in various aspects.
