Apicii librorum X qui dicuntur De re coquinaria quae extant by Apicius

"Apicii librorum X qui dicuntur De re coquinaria quae extant" attributed to Apicius is a compilation of Roman recipes assembled in the late 4th century. This collection of culinary formulas spans ten books, featuring dishes from roasted piglet to Lucanian sausages and pheasant sauces. Though attributed to Marcus Gavius Apicius, a famous 1st-century Roman gastronome, the work was actually written much later in degraded Latin, preserved through medieval manuscripts that reveal ancient Rome's sophisticated kitchen traditions.
