Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to analyze some aspects of the milling process, the fineness of the flour, the quality of bread and bakery products from the Roman age. By means of archaeological experiments we have analyzed the practical aspects of the ‘chaîne opératoire’, such as productivity of the mill, quality of the grist and bread making.
