HISTORY: PIZZA THROUGH THE CENTURIES! 1ST CENTURY B.C. In the translated version of The Aeneid written by Virgil (70-19 B.C.), it describes the legendary origin of the Roman nation, describing cakes or circles of bread: Beneath a shady tree, the hero spread His table on the turf, with cakes of bread; And, with his chiefs, on forest fruits he fed. They sate; and, (not without the gods command,) Their homely fare dispatchd, the hungry band Invade their trenchers next, and soon devour, To mend the scanty meal, their cakes of flour. Ascanius this observd, and smiling said: See, we devour the plates on which we fed.
