About this audiobook
Rome’s street food wasn’t cheap comfort—it was a slow, daily poisoning. Popina Poison drags listeners into the empire’s filthy food stalls, where rancid oil smoked for months, flies tasted the meat before customers did, wine was watered with sewer filth, and unwashed hands fed half the city. In this dark, immersive audiobook, Lucius Vespillo strips away the romantic myth of Roman street life and reveals a system of hunger, contamination, and collapse. If you want ancient Rome without the marble fantasy—visceral, unsettling, and brutally human—start here.
