Streszczenie
The present article researches into the wide variety of cereal products available
on the market of Byzantium, and especially in its capital, namely the city
Constantinople, in the late antique and early Byzantine period.
The authors try to outline the most popular cereal foods (concentrating on
wheat and barley products) and establish their dietetic evaluation present in the
writings of Galen, Oribasius, Aetius of Amida, Anthimus and others dieticians
who formulated doctrines accepted in Byzantium.
They also make use of dietetic treatises to retrieve basic information on the
culinary art of the period between the IVth and VIIth centuries.
