Series Brings a Feast of Hot Topics
Food is a common element that unites humanity, bringing us comfort, joy, and connection. At the same time, it is a source of confusion, stress, and environmental and socioeconomic peril. In this year's installment of our Downtown Lecture Series, held at the Fox Tucson The-atre, five UA faculty members will tackle the endlessly fascinating topic of food. From issues of sustainability to cultural traditions to modern health, each lecture will explore the com-plexities of one of our most basic human needs. More
Edible Roman Empire
Emma Blake
Wednesday, November 5, 2014 - 6:30pm
What can we learn about food and foodways from the Roman Empire? A surprising amount. The Roman Em-pire encompassed some 50-60 million people, transforming the lives of its conquered populations. Wheat, olive oil, wine, and fish paste were mass-produced and transported thousands of miles, undercutting local food traditions. Agribusiness and monoculture supplanted independent farmers. Crops were harvested un-sustainably. At the same time many people benefited from greater food security than ever before. Who were the winners and losers in this, the first globalized food system? For example, in North Africa Roman hydraulic technology made the arid pre-desert farmable, but disrupted the herding routes of nomadic pas-toralists. Drawing on cutting edge archaeological techniques and the latest discoveries, Dr. Blake weighs the costs and benefits of the Roman Empire on nutrition and life expectancy as well as on the environment and culinary heritage. These insights into ancient foodways may provide guidance for our own future.
