Visualizing a servant feeding you as you recline on a couch in your toga? The Roman diet was surprisingly healthy, high in grains and vegetables and including many staples of modern Italian cooking. Chris Prosperi’s Metro Bis Restaurant is creating a special four-course Roman Feast for us, complete with a glass of Roman-spiced wine to welcome you to your table. Tuesday, Feb. 24 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. If you'd like to learn more about the food of ancient Rome, join University of Hartford History Professor Mari Firkatian for three lectures -- Tuesdays, Feb. 3, 10, & 17, 2-3:30 p.m. on the UHart campus. Join us for just the lectures, just the Roman Feast, or both. Sponsored by Presidents' College Lifelong Learning at the University of Hartford.
