The importance of bread in a roman’s diet is justified by the finding of 35 bakeries.  The building in itself is pretty standard, the  baker’shasn’t really changed at all in these centuries ,wood was used, and grinders were used to make the flour, a brick oven and a place where dough was kneaded before going into the bread oven because  the baker’s were associated together with the stables  because the animals would live and work the move the mill to be transported after.
And with any business. There was always signs of good luck. The ancient Romans were a suspicious bunch.  The famous stone with a man’s phallus and the words ‘hic habilat felicitas’ means ‘you will find happiness here’ was found written on one of the walls of the baker’s shop N. Popidius Priscus.

Grain was grinded using lavic stone, it was made up in 2 parts: the top one was clepsydra and the bottom one a coned shape.

Grain was grinded using lavic stone, it was made up in 2 parts: the top one was clepsydra and the bottom one a coned shape.

On the top part there were 2 wooden brackets which made the part spin, on the bottom one –the grain then got crushed into a powder form – flour as we know it now, which fell down onto an iron slab at the circular base of the grinder.
The flour was then sieved using 1. One which was very fine, this was destined for very rich customers and 2. A sieve that was slightly less fine, this would be called integral that would be sold to the lower class citizens and poor folk.
