guy Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 (edited) A charred fragment of Roman bread—likely the result of an everyday kitchen mishap—has been uncovered near Zurich, Switzerland. Like the carbonized loaves preserved at Pompeii, this piece survived because intense heat transformed its organic material into a stable, charcoal‑like form. The bread was found during construction near the Roman legionary base at Vindonissa, and its context suggests a date in the early 1st century AD, when the first troop camp was established in the region. 2,000-year-old Roman bread discovered under construction site | Popular Science Important finds in Vindonissa: Traces of the first troop camp - Canton of Aargau Edited April 24 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
