Popcorn in the movie theater, a biscuit with a cup of tea or just a bag of chips. Snacks are an indispensable part of our everyday life.
In ancient Rome, they liked to snack too! During the games in the amphitheaters, the audience ate figs, grapes, melons, nuts and olives.
Those might be healthier snacks than the ones we would choose today, but nevertheless delicious. And the fun part is, we still eat those foods nowadays!
