Ancient Roman Food

Did you know that ancient Romans ate fast food? Or that modern day Romans usually eat pork lard? Today, I'm going to compare and contrast ancient Roman and modern Roman food, clothing, and transportation.

The first topic that I'm going to compare today is Roman food. Ancient Roman food consisted of grains, cheese, and assorted fruits. Modern Romans usually eat vegetables, meats, and cheese. Pork lard is also a usual condiment. However, Ancient Rome and Modern Rome share something in common: fast food.

You'd be most likely be eating regular ancient Roman food, as I explained previously. However, in modern day, you can get back to your Big Mac!

The second topic that I'm going to be comparing is Roman transportation. Ancient Roman transportation consisted mainly of a variety of
Ancient Roman men normally wore a tunica and a toga. A tunica was a wool undergarment that usually had short sleeves, since long sleeves were meant for women. Women would wear a slightly different tunica and toga. Like I just mentioned, the tunica would have longer sleeves, and married women would have to wear a loose version of the toga, which was called a stola. Modern Romans start many new fashion trends. Their style is simple, yet elegant. Also, lots of high-end brands of clothing have come from modern Rome, such as Gucci. Styles of clothes have changed over the years, but the theme of simple, yet elegant is in both ancient and modern Rome.

In conclusion, Ancient Rome and modern Rome are quite different, such as horses instead of cars, and tunics and stolas instead of Gucci. However, they also have plenty in common, such as Roman fast food, and simple but elegant clothing. Thanks for reading my report on comparison between ancient and modern
