Marcus Garvius Pitching: The Top Gourmet in the Roman World.
Marcus Garvius Pitching is one of the Romans (almost) forgotten by time.

In the history of Rome, Pitching stood out among many unknown people because of his luxury in food.

In other words, Apicius is a gourmet.

There may be other gourmets in the Roman world, although in fact, Pitching is the only other Roman writer mentioned (except a story about him bidding for a fish with another gourmet), which indicates that he may be the "top gourmet" in the Roman world.

In addition, there is a set of recipes in the 4th century AD called De Re Coquinaria (meaning "the theme of cooking"), which is traditionally regarded as belonging to the gourmet Apicius.

There are (at least) three characters named Apicius in Roman history.

It is said that the first of them lived in the early 1 century BC and was said to be a great gourmet.

It is said that the third generation Apicius lived during the reign of Emperor Trajan in the 2nd century A.D., and it is believed that he invented a special packaging to preserve the freshness of oysters transported over long distances.

(public domain), there are no known biographies about Api Theos' life, such as those written for some outstanding figures in Roman history.

On the contrary, many ancient writers mentioned the image of Apithus.

It is from these references that we get most of the existing knowledge about Apithus.

It should be said that seneca is an ascetic monk, and he certainly disapproves of the actions of these gourmets.

Before telling this story, seneca criticized people like Apicius. He wrote: Nevertheless, Pitching became the name of "the" in terms of food, which was obvious in the 4th century cookbook "De Re Coquinaria".

Some people think that this work has little direct connection with this notorious gourmet except some dishes that seem to be named after him.

However, the use of Apithus' name is considered to enhance the prestige of this book, because it is considered to be related to Gullmander. In 900 AD, a copy of Apithus' manuscript came from Fulda Abbey (public domain), and Apithus' reputation continues to this day. It is said that many restaurants are named after him.

For a stoic like seneca, it seems that Pitching will continue to have followers among people because of his meticulous relationship with food.

(Monastery), Author: W, I am a college student with a bachelor's degree in archaeology.

My interests range from "traditional" to "radical" interpretation of archaeological/text/picture data sets.

I believe that the rational participation of extreme advocates from both sides will help to read Mor.
